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 International Association for Distance Learning 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 International Association for Distance Learning.
In February 2009, Bircham International University got the Accreditation Member Status from IADL.
Since 2012, IADL membership is replaced by the accreditation from the World Council for Regular and Distance Education.
