Benefits of being KASNEB Accredited Institutions
1 Accreditation improves education outcomes and mitigates risks.
People understandably expect to receive a high-quality education. General accreditation programs improve the quality of education and educational outcomes. Standardization of academic practices, which can be achieved by participating in accreditation, results in better academic outcomes.
2-Accreditation identifies strengths and gaps in your programs and processes.
It’s important to know which programs and processes work and which ones don’t. That way, you can focus on what needs to be improved while keeping an eye on what works to make sure it keeps working in the future.
When proper programs and processes are missing, service can be slow or inaccurate, affecting academic outcomes. Accreditation reveals what’s missing from the school’s programs and processes.
Accreditation focuses attention on the areas of greatest need (for example, library, qualified tutors, and links with employers). Hence KASNEB Accredited Institutions, have identified gaps and filled them.
3-Accreditation promotes communication and staff empowerment across organizations.
Accreditation gives each person a better understanding of how they contribute to their organization’s mission. In KASNEB Accredited Institutions, communication between staff and between learners and staff is efficient hence empowering all stakeholders.
It’s helpful to know the role each person plays on a team. When people and organizations communicate well, they can share best practices and find opportunities to make learning more conducive.
4-Accreditation fosters a culture of quality and safety.
Your organization’s culture matters. It helps determine how your staff approach their jobs. Are they motivated or disengaged? A culture that’s focused on quality and safety promotes an engaged atmosphere where communication and learning are key.
Studies have found that when the staff sees the positive outcomes of a well-run accreditation process, they want to continue making improvements together. That’s what a positive culture of quality and results looks like. Accreditation can help you get there. This is one pillar of being one of the KASNEB Accredited Institutions.
5-Accreditation can decrease risks and liability costs.
Financial benefits of accreditation that have been cited over time are improved operational efficiency and reduced liability cases. Accreditation tells insurers and the public that you value safety and that you’ve made a commitment to best practices and regulatory requirements. KASNEB Accredited Institutions are likely to easily get more learners than non-accredited institutions.
So if you want to identify gaps and work to fix them, use accreditation to measure your performance.
