Eduvos is proud to announce that it has been accredited by the British Accreditation Council (BAC), effective 1 January 2025. This achievement marks a significant milestone, placing Eduvos among an elite group of just 10 institutions in Africa to hold this prestigious recognition.
The BAC accreditation is a testament to Eduvos’ unwavering commitment to academic excellence, quality assurance, and student success. It reinforces Eduvos’ standing as a globally recognised higher education provider and affirms that its standards align with some of the best in the world.
Achieving this accreditation was a two-and-a-half-year process, involving in-depth assessments, a submission of portfolios of evidence, extensive paperwork, site inspections, and a thorough review of Eduvos’ governance, teaching quality, student support, and operational management.
