From universities, colleges, polytechnics and more, we are passionate about progressing the education of your students. With our accreditation program, we accredit a variety of environmental programs, including but not limited to, certificates, degrees and diplomas etc.
Accreditation provides formal validation of your program’s commitment to high-quality education, accountability, and public trust.

Program auditors provide valuable feedback to ensure programs are career-driven and demonstrate a culture of continuous improvement.

Accreditation ensures educational excellence that provides an easier transition for graduates between post-secondary education and the workforce. As a result, students demonstrate an increase in confidence levels as curriculums better reflect the needed qualifications for the workforce.
Accreditation is the independent, third-party evaluation of Post-secondary programs against recognized standards, conveying formal demonstration that the program aligns with Occupational Standards and has a quality management system to continually enhance the program outcomes.

We’ve also recently expanded our accreditation program internationally and we’re pleased to announce the Bachelor of Environmental Health Management Program at Canadian University Dubai (CUD) is the first international program to receive Interim Accreditation Status. International Program Accreditation allows programs to gain Canadian recognition and contribute to the development of qualified environmental professionals worldwide.
“As the only ECO Canada accredited environmental program in the Middle East, CUD’s BSc in Environmental Health Management not only meets the requirements of International Standards, but also aligns well with the Environmental Occupational Standards and Industry requirements. During the accreditation review, we felt the program outcomes are consistent with the labour market needs and the program does an excellent job in preparing students for meaningful employment in the environmental sector.”
