Accreditation UK monitors and improves standards of management, teaching, resources and welfare in organisations teaching English as a foreign language in Britain.

We do this through regular inspections including unannounced spot checks. Each inspection leads to a report on the organisation's services and facilities. On the basis of this report, we make a decision as to whether the organisation should be accredited.

We make sure organisations provide quality provision, especially:

appropriately qualified teachers    
teaching which meets the Scheme standards    
accommodation, including homestays, which is regularly inspected and meets Scheme standards    
24- hour supervision of juniors    
safe premises, with properly-equipped classrooms and areas for relaxation    
brochures and publicity materials which accurately reflect what is provided    
proper emergency procedures, known to staff and students.
