"Elevating informal adult learning through accreditation."
We validate learning programs that meet rigorous quality standards.
​The Continuing Education Unit Accreditation Council (CEUAC) awards accreditation to organizations, i.e. public, private for-profit or not-for-profit, that comply with the framework of standards contained in the Accreditation Guidelines: Informal Adult & Continuing Education Standards of Excellence and with the policies and procedures of the Council. Organizations with accreditation demonstrate they meet requirements for delivering quality education that impacts learning, change, and improvement in the lives of adult learners. By gaining the CEUAC accreditation and becoming a member organization or institution, you are committed to delivering quality learning courses and events to adult learners as they begin to pursue educational goals or those who seek professional development beyond the degree.
Why CEUAC?
The Continuing Education Unit Accreditation Council (CEUAC) is Accreditation that elevates your learning programs and builds learner confidence. We are adult educators, leaders, and developers of best practices and educational standards using innovative and collaborative methods for identifying the standards that guide quality adult learning programs. CEUAC supports and ensures quality continuing education operations, practices, and values among practitioners worldwide. ​
​
We focus solely on accreditation of learning programs. Not what you teach, but how you develop, manage, facilitate, assess, and evaluate. You are the content expert, we are the credentialing expert. Together, we create credible training programs for adult learners. Together, we impact the world of learning and the workforce of the future!
The Business Case for Accreditation
Accreditation is not just a quality seal—it is a strategic business investment. A voluntary engagement that is not punitive, not government oversight, and does not create duplicate compliance reporting. For organizations delivering continuing education, professional development, or workforce training, accreditation drives revenue growth, risk mitigation, market credibility, and long-term sustainability. It is an opportunity to engage with accreditation experts who support you as you support your learners.
