WHO ARE THE INTERNATIONAL ACCREDITATION & RECOGNITION COUNCIL?

Founded in 1999, the International Accreditation and Recognition Council (IARC) is a not-for-profit education management association run by an elected committee. IARC provides opportunities for quality focussed like-minded institutions and educators to network and collaborate, functioning to outline benchmarks for excellence in education.

The council’s primary purpose is to provide a simple recognition and accreditation system for distinguishing quality, post secondary education. This includes, but is not limited to, vocational, distance, adult and continuing education in the international education industry. As IARC is a global organisation, we operate independently from government.

WHAT DOES AN IARC COURSE RECOGNITION MEAN?

The IARC recognition provides a way of distinguishing between quality education in the post-secondary education industry. The system of recognition is designed to have high quality standards, yet minimum bureaucracy. A school which is IARC recognised demonstrates its drive to remain current with educational trends, work in partnerships with other education professionals, and to provide an assurance of authenticity to its students. This low-cost system enables school to avoid paying vast sums on quality assurance, instead they are able to invest profits back into the school, the courses and the student services. Schools who have joined the network have the benefit of collaborating with other like minded individuals and access to research from education.

THE FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION COURSE IS ACCREDITED THROUGH IARC.

All of Functional Nutritional Academy courses are accredited by IARC. This means that the courses have been specifically assessed against the IARC quality criteria in the areas of course delivery, assessment, content and administration. The accreditation criteria are determined by substantial feedback from the members and the Executive committee board. The Executive committee board are education professionals who are elected at the Annual General Meeting. In general terms, accreditation gives students satisfaction that a framework for excellence in education exists. It is a set of operating and ethical standards.
