Our Welcome to
Non-Formal Universities/
Educational Institutions

IEB wants to reaffirm that quality, ethics and honesty can be self-regulated values to be implemented in a better education management plan.

​

Times have changed and educational models too. Today, educational institutions of any kind: universities, schools and Skill training institutions have become able to implement effective learning models through a system of self-regulation, ethical applications and quality certifications. Not to acknowledge that would mean claiming no value for any private school and institution in the world, even the most prestigious ones.

​

Certainly, this is not the case. Universities/Educational Institutions may choose to remain government accreditations free in order to maintain a certain flexibility that will allow them to have more students accessing their study programs; or they prefer to provide students with services off-government standards, like for instance former studies or relevant professional experience recognition. Whatever the case, it is fundamental to clearly and truthfully inform potential students about the status of the institution. 

​

Once students from all over the world are properly informed, they can decide whether to attend a school or a non-formal institution. What our globalized job market values the most today is people’s skill. Especially private practice, multinational corporations, NGOs will look for the expertise behind a degree.

​

IEB will accredit according to its main credo: quality standards satisfaction in the whole operational process of applicant institutions; no matter if they are traditional universities or private institutions, off shore universities or distance institutions. A non-formal institution should never be perceived as a substitute for traditional Universities/Educational Institutions, rather as an alternative.

​

IEB certifies commitment and experience used to build quality education; that process not necessarily follows government standards, but rather professional needs. A fitting example is that of today adult students unable to attend a traditional, campus-based university for family or work reasons but, nevertheless, willing to achieve an academic goal.

​

Non-formal institutions often have highly practical and knowledge-based approach to learning; their educational model implies students' experiences proper monitoring and adaptation to global market needs. That is possible thanks to study programs specifically tailored on their students’ professional future. For all these reasons private schools, distance and Non-formal Universities/Educational Institutions  are welcome in IEB.
