FIND A COLLEGE
Mission of the BAC
The British Accreditation Council has for two decades been the principal non-EFL regulatory body in the ever-growing independent sector of further and higher education.
Our aim has been two-fold:
- to establish a system of accreditation in the private sector, to be used as an indicator of quality
- through this accreditation process to improve and enhance the standards of independent further and higher educational institutions.
BAC-accredited colleges in the UK now number 245, providing a wealth of academic programmes: vocational and professional qualifications; foundation courses for university entry; and even externally validated degree courses.
As well as providing clear guidance to prospective students, we want to encourage a continuing rise in the general standard and quality of independent education in the UK.
While the BAC is not a membership organisation, and indeed must maintain an objective distance from institutions to preserve the value of our accreditation, we are nevertheless dedicated to helping colleges in their efforts for continual improvement.
