Build trust with every student

Recognition gives prospective students and parents an independent way to confirm that your institution is genuine.

What you receive

A visible, checkable sign of trust

Recognized institutions get three things, all of which can be checked by anyone on this website.

The recognition badge

Your logo on the public register carries the RECOGNIZED ribbon, and your name is followed by STATUS: RECOGNIZED.

A certificate for your wall

A printable certificate with your certificate number, validity dates and a QR code. Display it at reception so visitors can see it.

A page in the public register

Your own page with your details, found by anyone who searches your name. Parents and students can confirm your status in seconds.

Before you apply

What we will ask you for

  • Your institution's full legal name and country of registration
  • Your registration or licence number, or the registry where it can be checked
  • The name and role of the person applying, and an official email address
  • Your website address and the courses or programmes you offer
  • Details of any accreditation or approval you claim, with evidence
  • Your published fees and refund terms

We may ask for further documents during the review. Everything you send is handled as described in our privacy policy.

Good to know

How listings work

You may already be listed. We list institutions from public information, so your page may already exist as UNRECOGNIZED. Search for it and use "Claim & get recognized".

Recognition is time-limited. A certificate is valid for 12 months and is then renewed, so the register stays current.

It can be withdrawn. If an institution misleads students or stops meeting our policy, we revoke the recognition and say so on its page.

Ready to apply?

It takes a few minutes. We will confirm the process, and any fees, in writing before the review begins.
