Answer: What is Accreditation Service for International Colleges mean?

The Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC) is an independent international educational agency based in the United Kingdom. It is an independent, government-approved accreditation body specializing in the accreditation of schools, colleges, universities, training organizations, and online and distance education providers, both in the UK and overseas. ASIC has been appointed by the United Kingdom Government's Home Office UK Border Agency to inspect colleges seeking to apply for sponsor's licenses from the UK Border Agency. They serve the purpose of identifying colleges that actually exist and provide an educational service from bogus institutions that exist merely to allow international students to obtain fraudulent visas e.g. require students not to attend.

ASIC's international and UK-based school accreditation is not recognized by the UK government (its accreditation is limited to UK based college accreditation for UK visa purposes only), or any governmental UK department, including the Department for Education (DfE), the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation and all other UK based government departments. Schools it accredits are therefore not obliged to meet the minimum standards expected in a British Educational Facility. The Department for Education (DfE) has put in place arrangements for inspection against a common set of standards that British Schools Overseas (BSO) can choose to adopt. The BSO Scheme is the UK Department for Education’s only voluntary inspection (accreditation) scheme for overseas schools. Overseas schools describing themselves as meeting British standards in education are subject to recognition by the British government under the voluntary inspection scheme. Schools that meet 'British Standards' are listed on the British Schools overseas list provided on the UK governments website. None of the ASIC accredited schools have met the basic set of standards set to become British Schools Overseas. Qualifications attained in ASIC accredited schools, therefore, have no value in respect to UK government recognition. ASIC is an independent company with no formal recognition to accredit or inspect international schools on behalf of the UK government, obtaining an ASIC-approved qualification or certificate from one of these international institutions, therefore, holds no formal recognition in the UK.
