    In UK, the so called "Higher & Further Education' is NOT equal to college/university level education. This agency only accredit trade or language schools.

    International Management Centres in UK is accredited by the above BAC.

    www.i-m-c.org

    IMC is now called IMCA, and I think the Principle is University of Action Learning (DETC Accredited).

    IMCA still offers DMgt Programs in Europe and Asia. Years ago, the doctorate is validated by Southern Cross University in Australia.

    Questions:
    Is IMCA accredited according to GAAP?
    Is IMCA legally authorized to confer doctoral degrees in UK or wordwide?

    Can any experts give me a lesson!

    Actually, the BAC does accredit degree granting institutions (such as Huron University USA, at http://www.huron.ac.uk ). The BAC does not validate degrees or diplomas-- it accredits aspects of instruction delivery, such as curriculum, administration, quality control and teaching/learning. In other words, BAC accreditation is not equivalent to RA/NA though it does provide a useful form of quality control, IMHO. Only royally chartered British schools have RA equivalence.

    In reply to Raymond Chan's question, the IMAC's Doctor of Management degrees are not accredited unless they are validated by SCU. In fact, there are quite a few college administrators in Macau (AIOU & MUST) who got their doctorates from IMAC (one of the school is right next to my office). In order to "cure" this accreditation problem, IMAC had formed a strategic alliance with AIOU to offer DBA degrees jointly.
