BIA Accreditation Application
Accreditation recognises your training courses and academy of a set standard to the highest level.
This allows you to accredit your courses and use our seal of approval on your students certificates and marketing.
Gaining accreditation means your students will be able to gain insurance from our insurance partners worldwide.
Accreditation will show potential students your materials are of a set standard and that your qualifications have been verified.
Students are looking for peace of mind and accreditation can help with this.
It shows that you are a professional educator and take your role as an educator seriously.
