Accreditation is the affirmation that a school provides a quality of education that the community has a right to expect and the education world endorses. Accreditation is a means of showing confidence in a school's performance. Unlike the associations of universities, colleges and/or schools, IEMAA provides a "third party" evaluation Certificate. Upon qualification, IEMAA awards an accreditation Certificate to innovative institutes, including virtual and distance learning programs, non-traditional universities and colleges, religious and professional schools. The International Education Ministry Accreditation Association (IEMAA) is the Accredition Division of IEM that provides accredition certificates for distance education and non-traditional colleges or universities. Interfaith Education Ministries is an international organization dedicated to Academic Excellence. Founded in 1965, IEM was originally established to provide certificates of measurement and evaluation of the educational and professional credentials and practices of religious and other nontraditional schools teachers and students. Today, IEM has expanded to include the promotion of global standards in all areas of distance learning. No other organization can match IEM's array of specialized certificates. Clients from all over the world count on IEM for educational and professional certifications, credential attestation, and accreditation of private and/or non-traditional schools, colleges and universities. IEM is a private non-denominational accrediting body that accepts the universal good of the world’s many religions and faiths. IEM certificates are available to Education Providers in all countries through the United Nations, through the International Trade Organizations and through the International Monetary Fund.

More about Accredition: Accrediting agencies are private educational associations of regional, national or international scope that develop evaluation criteria and conduct peer evaluations to assess whether or not those criteria are met. Institutions and/or programs that request an agency's evaluation and that meet an agency's criteria are then "accredited " by that agency. This provides a level of quality assurance for students enrolled in a particular program. Some Functions of Accreditation: 1. Verifying that an institution or program meets established standards 2. Assisting prospective students in identifying acceptable institutions 3.Assisting institutions in determining the acceptability of transfer credits 4. Helping to identify institutions and programs for the investment of public and private funds 5. Protecting an institution against harmful internal and external pressure 6. Creating goals for self-improvement of weaker programs and stimulating a general raising of standards among educational institutions 7. Involving the faculty and staff comprehensively in institutional evaluation and planning 8. Establishing criteria for professional certification and licensure and for upgrading courses offering such preparation. 9. Accreditation builds positive public relations, accreditation provides opportunities to emphasize the positive and show how strong and effective the school is.
