The British Accreditation Council for Independent Further and Higher Education is an accreditation agency recongised by the British Government for international students entering the United Kingdom for educational purposes.

The British Accreditation Council has provided a comprehensive quality assurance scheme for independent further and higher education in the UK since 1984. Our accreditation is recognised the world over by students, agents and government officials as the clearest mark of educational quality in the private sector. Alongside the British Council, whose Accreditation UK scheme serves as the definitive guide to the country’s English language centres, we have overseen the inspection of private post-16 education for more than two decades.
We are committed to both encouraging the highest standards of education offered by independent colleges and providing prospective students with an invaluable guide to quality in an often complex sector.
For international students, choosing a BAC-accredited college for your studies will ensure that the institution is considered to be bona fide by immigration officials. Indeed from 2009, new regulations are to come into effect which will see visas granted only to students at accredited institutions.

Colleges
BAC-accredited colleges provide myriad learning opportunities within the framework of independent further and higher education, for students who want the flexibility to study their own way.
Our colleges in the UK fall mainly into three categories: colleges preparing students for university entry; colleges offering vocational and professional education; and colleges working in partnership with a university or awarding body to offer fully-validated higher education courses. Within these three categories, traditional A level, diploma and degree programmes keep company with more modern, vocational subjects such as Business, IT, Hospitality and Tourism, and even such diverse pursuits as complementary therapies, art, design, fashion and drama.
In addition, our international colleges provide British-standard educational opportunities and qualifications to students in locations across the world, including the EU, India, Pakistan, Mauritius and the United Arab Emirates.
