Accreditations

The WCI is an international reference authority established to recognize professional skills, competencies and practices in line with the best globally accepted professional standards, accrediting educational programs offered by educational institutions such as universities, colleges, schools and professional institutions.

The mission of the World Certification Institute perfectly aligns with Terra Nova Universi-ty’s one, which caters to a global clientele of qualified professionals, entrepreneurs, managers and executives who have already graduated and operate in various profes-sional fields.

The process of accrediting courses is extremely rigorous: it entails detailed examination of the program content and duration, qualifications and competence of trainers, financial strength and integrity of course providers, available facilities and resources, method of delivery and assessment, and most importantly their relevance to occupational and ca-reer development, in line with the mission of Terra Nova University.

Only WCI Councilors or WCI-appointed Committees of Experts can accredit courses. When a course is successfully accredited, graduates of the accredited course are deemed to have met the qualification criteria for WCI Certified Credential Awards. An or-ganization that has its courses successfully accredited will receive a Certificate of Ac-creditation from WCI that lists the courses accredited. On the Degree Certificates, Terra Nova University includes the wording “Accredited by World Certification Institute” alongside WCI logo.
