Institutional accreditation means “recognition status granted to a provider by the Authority for a stipulated period of time after an evaluation through self-assessment and external review indicates that it meets or exceeds established standards for educational quality set by the Authority” as per the SQA Act 2021.

Institutional Accreditation is both an opportunity to demonstrate compliance with the national quality assurance criteria for accountability purposes and an opportunity for quality improvement. The Seychelles Institute of Agriculture and Horticulture received provisional accreditation after its most recent accreditation process in 2023. SIAH’s upcoming institutional accreditation will take place in 2025.
