Introduction: Choosing the right business school is a pivotal decision that can shape your career trajectory for years to come. At EPBS, we are steadfast in our commitment to providing our students with the highest standards of education and professional development. Our accreditations from the International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre-Tertiary and Higher Education (QAHE) and OTHM stand as powerful endorsements of our dedication to excellence. But what do these accreditations mean for you as a prospective or current student? Why should they matter to your educational journey and future career? Let’s explore these questions in greater depth.

What is Accreditation? Accreditation is the process through which an external organization evaluates an educational institution to ensure it meets specific quality standards. Think of it as a seal of approval that signifies a school’s reliability and ability to deliver high-quality education. It ensures that the institution has met rigorous academic and organizational benchmarks and is committed to maintaining them over time. For students, this guarantees that their education aligns with globally recognized best practices and standards.

Accreditation also serves as an assurance to employers, governments, and other educational institutions that a degree earned from the accredited school holds significant value. In other words, accreditation can transform a piece of paper into a trusted credential that opens doors to opportunities around the world.

Why QAHE and OTHM?

At EPBS, we have deliberately sought accreditations from QAHE and OTHM due to their international recognition and emphasis on rigorous quality standards. Here’s why these accreditations set us apart:

  1. Global Recognition: Both QAHE and OTHM are widely recognized accrediting bodies. Having these accreditations means that an EPB School degree is not only valuable in your home country but also respected on the global stage. This recognition can significantly boost your career prospects, whether you’re planning to work locally or abroad.

  2. Rigorous Standards: Earning accreditations from QAHE and OTHM requires institutions to undergo an intensive evaluation process. This involves a detailed assessment of academic programs, faculty qualifications, infrastructure, student services, and more. By meeting these stringent criteria, EPB School demonstrates that we provide education that is both relevant to industry needs and reflective of contemporary global standards.

  3. Commitment to Continuous Improvement:Accreditation isn’t a one-time achievement. It requires ongoing compliance with established standards and often involves periodic reviews. This ensures that we remain dedicated to improving our programs, adapting to changes in the educational landscape, and meeting the evolving needs of our students and employers.
