The American International Institute of Training and Accreditation (AIITA) is a non-governmental, independent, and international quality assurance, rating, certification, and accreditation association. AIITA is dedicated to improving the quality assurance standards of educational organizations globally. With its extensive network of experts, AIITA grants accreditation to private schools, educational institutes, vocational institutions, distance learning centers, online courses, and corporations. It also provides professional certification to professionals, qualified individuals, instructors, and students worldwide.
While regional accreditation bodies have effectively evaluated education providers on a regional scale, the rapid pace of globalization calls for a global entity that can assess institutions against internationally recognized education standards. AIITA serves this need by offering internationally recognized accreditation, known as Secondary Accreditation, to enhance the existing regional accreditation of educational providers. This accreditation assures stakeholders that the educational programs, policies, and procedures of the institution, or private school meet global quality standards.
AIITA also extends its accreditation services to small, medium, and large-scale educational corporations, ensuring that they adhere to international principles and standards of quality. This service builds confidence and trust within the business community, guaranteeing that these organizations operate according to globally recognized management and performance standards, providing them with international recognition for their business and quality practices.
The mission of AIITA is to establish, preserve, and promote the highest quality standards worldwide. AIITA acts as a catalyst for information, training, and networking for educational institutes, vocational institutions, distance learning centers, online courses, corporations, professionals, qualified individuals, instructors, and students.
AIITA was founded with the vision of promoting the development and maintenance of quality and ethical standards in education and lifelong learning across the globe. AIITA identifies and accredits educational organizations that meet the necessary standards to operate under the institute's established quality and best business practice criteria.
Although its name refers to "American", AIITA operates globally and is not restricted to any particular region. It provides accreditation and services to institutions worldwide, utilizing its global network of partner agencies and experts to adapt its services to different educational contexts.
As a legally established not-for-profit organization, AIITA upholds principles of transparency and accountability. It publishes information about its governance structure, financial statements, accreditation procedures, and decisions on its website. AIITA is also subject to regular audits and reviews by independent bodies to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards.
AIITA functions as an international entity in the field of education quality assurance, and certification. Established in 2014, AIITA has expanded its services beyond institutional and programmatic accreditation. In 2021, AIITA began providing additional services such as quality assurance, standard setting, rating, certification, training, events, and consultancy. These expansions respond to the growing demand for international accreditation and quality assurance in a variety of educational sectors.
