IAO provides International accreditation to the educational institutions to serve as secondary accreditation, enhance the institution's regional accreditation and assure students that the educational program, policies and procedures of that institution are up to the international standards of education. IAO's International Accreditation represents an institution's commitment to delivering quality education that is at par with the global standards. It assures the institute's students that their degrees and credits will have increased acceptability around the world, should they decide to study or work abroad.

IAO stands out as the guardian of global quality education, particularly in the light of the following:

IAO's Unique and Patented Points Profile System

IAO grants international accreditation through a unique and patented Points Profile System that is developed by organizing the best global practices in education at one place in collaboration with regional accreditation bodies.

The Points Profile System is a dynamic and evolving system that is continually updated in order to cater new developments in the academic world. Points Profile System assigns weightage to every answer submitted by the educational providers and rates them to calculate a final score for each dimension.

The profile point system is intelligently designed to detect strengths and areas that need improvement to match the international standards. The final matrix gives the overall picture of an institution's quality and standards and also recommends the changes to improve on each dimension.

IAO's Exclusively Extended Recommendation Report

The Recommendation Report provided by the IAO to its accredited education providers is devised with the goal to lead them with further improvement for their education systems. The Recommendation Report analyses the compliance of the applicant institution with the IAO standards of quality assurance in education.

The evaluation commission of IAO, as the main decision making body of the accreditation agency, takes strategic and accreditation decisions and oversees the quality of the institution's study programs.

The panel endorses that IAO's accredited education providers are compliant with the IAO Standards and Guidelines; however by means of the Recommendation Report, IAO proposes several recommendations in the light of further development of the institution. The panel stresses the need for improvement of such areas.

"In the future, IAO aims to offer numerous value adding services focusing on appropriate standard of performance of teachers in higher education. IAO looks forward to creating an environment where peer institutions within the same regions worldwide will be able to evaluate applicant education providers of IAO and render a score that would further reflect on the said institutions' overall Points Profile",said Roderick Hayman, another notable evaluation commission member at IAO.
