A Commitment to Quality and Integrity
QAHE’s accreditation aims to bolster the quality and transparency of student recruitment agencies across the globe. QAHE’s mission is to ensure agencies follow high ethical standards and operational excellence. This framework helps agencies gain recognition and credibility in their markets.
With QAHE accreditation, agencies assure students and institutions that they uphold strict standards and commit to a transparent, ethical recruitment process.
The Need for Accreditation
The increasing number of student recruitment agencies has led to a wide variance in quality, ethics, and operational practices. As the demand for international education grows, so does the necessity for students to navigate a complex landscape filled with choices. Accreditation provides a means for agencies to distinguish themselves and build trust among stakeholders.
Students and their families often feel overwhelmed when selecting the right agency. Accreditation serves as a reliable indicator of quality, helping them make informed decisions. Recognizing this need, QAHE has tailored its accreditation services to provide a comprehensive evaluation of agencies’ practices.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for QAHE accreditation, agencies must meet specific criteria that ensure high standards. Agencies need to have operated for at least two years and comply with the legal and regulatory requirements of their countries. They must also demonstrate a commitment to quality assurance in recruitment and adhere to ethical standards.
These eligibility criteria ensure that only responsible agencies apply, creating a level playing field focused on quality.
The Accreditation Process
The accreditation process is structured and thorough, requiring agencies to submit a variety of documentation to demonstrate their operational standards. Necessary documents include a completed QAHE accreditation application form, proof of business registration, student registration forms, guidelines, and details about the organizational structure.
Agencies must also submit their recruitment policies, evidence of quality assurance measures, and testimonials or references from both institutions and students. This rigorous review process ensures that only those agencies that meet QAHE’s high standards receive accreditation.
Once the required documentation is submitted, QAHE conducts a comprehensive review, which may include requests for additional information to clarify any aspects of the submission.

The annual fee for the accreditation services is affordable. This financial commitment underscores the seriousness of the accreditation process and the benefits that accredited agencies can expect to gain.
While there is a cost associated with the accreditation process, the long-term benefits far outweigh the investment. Agencies that achieve accreditation are likely to see increased visibility, credibility, and trust from students and educational institutions.
Benefits of Accreditation
The advantages of obtaining QAHE accreditation are manifold. Accredited agencies gain enhanced credibility, achieving recognition from both educational institutions and prospective students. This recognition can significantly boost an agency’s competitive edge in the marketplace.
