The central basis for ICSOC’s evaluation and recognition is our Point Profile System which allows us to judge any institute/course/trainer’s profile for its worthiness to be recognized or not. The entire process consists of the following main steps:
Application Submission: Institutions seeking ICSOC recognition must submit an application form with all necessary information about their organization, including supporting paperwork, course offers, and faculty credentials.
Initial review: The ICSOC review team shall rigorously evaluate every submitted proposal, taking into account elements including the caliber of institutional documentation, the excellence and relevance of courses, and the credentials of faculty members. An initial acknowledgment of status will be decided upon in light of this assessment.
Temporary Recognition Status: If an institution's initial evaluation is positive, ICSOC will issue it a temporary recognition status. This acknowledgment comes with the prestigious Recognition Seal and a special webpage on the ICSOC platform, both of which highlight the institution's dedication to excellence.
Ongoing Monitoring (90 Days): For a 90-day period, ICSOC will closely monitor the acknowledged institution. As part of the aforementioned monitoring, the institution's performance will be assessed based on the caliber of its courses, student testimonials, and faculty qualifications. Additionally, to rate the organization, ICSOC will employ a rating system equivalent to the industry standards.
Final Assessment: Following the 90-day monitoring period, ICSOC will carry out a thorough final assessment. This assessment will take into account the institution's performance, student feedback, the quality of the courses, the capacity of the faculty, and the rating given.
Payment and Permanent Recognition: The institution will be informed by ICSOC following the final evaluation has been conducted successfully and a rating has been assigned to it. It will then be mandatory for the institution to pay for the recognized services. The institution will be granted permanent recognized status by ICSOC after payment has been made. This recognition, along with the rating it has been given, strengthens the institution's standing as a trusted authority in the industry.
Incorporating a rating system ensures that recognized institutions are transparently assessed and assigned ratings based on specific benchmarks, providing valuable information to stakeholders. This process reinforces ICSOC's commitment to maintaining high-quality standards in education and enhancing trust within the industry.
