ASIC is an independent body, recognised by the Border and Immigration Agency (Home Office) and approved by Ofsted, which provides an accreditation service for independent further and higher education colleges.
ASIC accreditation gives reassurance to potential international (overseas) students, their parents and education representatives that the operation of their chosen college conforms with relevant United Kingdom laws and offers genuine courses, which are delivered to appropriate standards with acceptable quality, and which lead to recognised qualifications. Accreditation also provides reassurance to the Border and Immigration Agency that the college meets their requirements and, in general, does not harm the perceived quality of the United Kingdom education provision.
