About certification

We at ECICEL believe that ISO 21001 certification demonstrates a commitment to continuous improvement and following best practices. It can increase your students’ and their families’ confidence in quality of provided education, as well as attract more students to the institution. Additionally, certification can also help to improve your operations by identifying areas for improvement and implementing effective solutions. Furthermore, it can also help to better meet the regulatory requirements and accreditation standards of their respective countries or regions. In short,  ISO 21001 certification is an important way for educational providers to demonstrate their commitment to quality and continuous improvement, which can lead to increased confidence and trust from stakeholders, as well as improved operations and compliance.


ISO 21001 is a widely recognized international standard that provides a framework for education providers to enhance the quality of their services. It emphasizes incorporating various concepts and objectives that are crucial for delivering effective education and training. The standard focuses on the following key areas:

  1. Ensuring that facilitators/teachers are well-trained and qualified;
  2. Adopting a learner-centric approach in teaching and training;
  3. Providing access to appropriate resources and facilities;
  4. Ensuring that provided curriculum and materials meet learners’ needs;
  5. Offering support to families and society;
  6. Incorporating gender-sensitive design;
  7. Creating a safe learning environment.
