What is ACCREDITAT?

ACCREDITAT is a leading independent accreditation body, part of the Training Issues education group (established in 2002), which has been providing in-depth evaluations of ESL courses and organizations for over 10 years.

Accreditation is a formal and intensive review conducted to ensure that an educational course is capable of delivering high-quality and effective training.

These reviews are conducted by highly experienced professionals with decades of industry experience. By completing a course accredited by ACCREDITAT, you’ll know that the course materials have been through sufficient checks and that the organization delivering the course is able to provide a supportive learning environment.

ACCREDITAT accreditation advisory team:

ACCREDITAT is comprised of a range of experienced ESL industry professionals with decades of combined experience.

►Jim Brown, Chief Advisor: A former senior Civil Servant, Jim has represented the UK Government in Europe and Asia. He was invited by Her Majesty’s Cabinet Office to join the Charter Mark Accreditation Scheme and played a key role in its policy development and in its ongoing success. During this period, he and his colleagues accredited a wide-ranging list of enterprises, including schools and colleges. Jim is a renowned accreditation expert and focuses his time on advising and guiding selected businesses such as ACCREDITAT in all aspects of accreditation. We are delighted to have him on board and we benefit greatly from his unparalleled accreditation knowledge and experience.

During this time he was also a moderator of the Cambridge examinations for the Zambian Government. This was followed by another 4 years of TEFL/TESOL in Europe and Asia. After working in the business learning and development area for several years, he has spent the last 10 years accrediting international business courses and modules with a large ELT content, written in English but specifically developed for personnel where English is not their first language.
