IADL - International Association for Distance Learning (UK)
The International Association for Distance Learning promotes excellence in open, distance, and online learning worldwide, and provides a benchmark through which global consumers can gauge the quality of courses offered by our membership. The IADL is an independent, non-profit organisation with its principal administrative offices in the United Kingdom.
- Admission to membership of the IADL includes appraisal of a course-provider's administrative procedures, methods of course delivery, and its educational and publicity materials. Consideration is also given to in-house quality control systems. Members are assessed to ensure that learners receive a product which is consistent with the values and policies set by the IADL. Course-providers are required to undergo periodic re-assessment by assessors and evaluators nominated by IADL.
- The International Association for Distance Learning is only able to accredit universities or degree-granting institutions which have already received accreditation or legal approval from a nationally or internationally recognised organisation or body. Tertiary-level institutions which do not appear on the List of Universities of the World Higher Education Database will not normally be considered for Accredited Membership of the IADL.
- In February 2009, Bircham International University got the Accreditation Member Status from IADL.
