Purpose
The International Council for Education Quality Certification develops published requirements for defined education quality subjects and administers certification against those requirements. Its work is intended to support clear expectations, consistent evidence assessment and publicly verifiable certification records.
ICEQC operates independently of applicants and certified organizations. Certification is contractual and voluntary. Each determination is limited to the certification object, scope, locations or digital environments, delivery modes, exclusions and document editions stated in the public record.
What ICEQC does
Standards
Maintains an identifiable system of education quality standards, certification schemes, procedures, applicability modules and guidance.
Assessment
Examines authenticated records, data, interviews, demonstrations, witnessed activity and specialist evidence using controlled remote methods.
Certification
Makes independent conformity decisions and controls the issue, surveillance, suspension, reduction, withdrawal and expiry of certificates.
Public assurance
Maintains public document and certificate registers so that applicable editions, scopes and current statuses can be checked.
Institutional character
- Independent of government and of the organizations it assesses.
- Nonprofit and nongovernmental in institutional purpose and operation.
- International in application, subject to the law of every jurisdiction in which a certified activity operates.
- Evidence-based, with no ranking, scoring, grading or tiered award model.
