What is programme accreditation by ACPM
International accreditation by ACPM enhances trust in your educational products, confirming the quality of teaching and programme content. You benefit from promotion through official ACPM channels, access to a global network of clients, automatic student registrations, and inclusion in the database of certified centres. Accreditation strengthens your reputation, enables you to increase the value of your courses and programmes through international recognition, and grants the right to use the ACPM logo in your marketing materials.
The Association of Certified Professional Managers (ACPM) offers two main types of accreditation for educational products:
- Course Accreditation with the issuance of a certificate
- Programme Accreditation with the issuance of a diploma
These formats differ in depth, duration, and learning objectives.
