The ECS Provider Certificate authorizes an institution or organization that is not accredited by EAHEA to use the EAHEA Credit Systems. It confirms that EAHEA has reviewed the institution and approved it as a provider of MUC, PAC, ILC and EUC credits for the programs and courses it offers.
Who Is the Certificate for?
The certificate is for educational institutes, vocational institutions, training providers, online course providers and other organizations that deliver education and want to state the workload of their programs in EAHEA credits. Institutions accredited by EAHEA do not need it: their accreditation already authorizes them to use the credits.
What the Certificate Covers
- The right to calculate, award, state and display EAHEA credits for the programs and courses of the institution, according to the display guidelines of the credit systems.
- The official designation of an approved ECS provider on certificates, transcripts and the website of the institution.
- A listing in the ECS Provider Directory, where students and employers can verify the institution.
The certificate does not contain institutional, program or course accreditation. It does not replace any legal authorization, recognition or regulation required by the authorities of the country of the institution.
Validity and Renewal
The certificate is valid for twelve (12) months and is renewed each year. EAHEA sends a renewal notice with the payment link before the certificate ends.
