    Ok, I understand that my question might seem a little unclear.
    You see there's this institution that seems to accredit various schools
    Open & Distance Learning Quality Council
    The thing is that many of the schools deal with alternative medicine (about 50%), so I have certain doubts about the authenticity of this organization and their value.

    The provided "accreditation forms" by this agency do not suggest that a candidate institution would have undergo a true accreditation process. I do not know how things work in Poland, but this would not be considered a recognized accrediting body in the U.S.

    I looked at the website, as well, and I have to concur with Dr. Pina. It doesn't appear to be the kind of accreditation that would be honored in most academic or employment situations.

    ODLQC is a recognized accrediting agency in UK which is similar to DETC in US.

    You're Welcome! But you keep to understand that though it's a recognized accrediting agency in UK but acceptabilty and recognition may not be as widely compared to Royal Charter in UK or RA in US.

    Yeah I know, but it deal with alternative medicine, everything better than a complete scam is enough for me in this field.
