Accreditation and Recognition

An organization must have the operational capacity and legal authority to comply with the host country’s laws to be accredited. To get a license to operate, an educational institution must meet the authority’s minimal rules on capital, facilities, teaching personnel, teaching and learning circumstances, and so on. Accreditation may or may not be required after obtaining an operating license, depending on the country.

SIMI operates under the license issued by Zug Canton No. CHE-258.08.017.

Although there are no requirements in Switzerland for private higher education systems to acquire other institutional accreditation, SIMI has taken the accreditation and passed the highest accreditation (Premier Institution) by ASIC UK to assure the prestige and benefits of students.

ASIC (Accreditation Service for International Schools, Universities, and Colleges) is an independent accreditation system that the government and the UKVI recognize as a member of the CHEA International Quality Group in the United States and a member of the BQF (British Quality Foundation).

Thus, SIMI operates at the institutional level under the Canton of Zug, Switzerland, Legal License No. CHE-258.08.017 and is approved at the highest level (Premier Institution) by ASIC.

Programmatic accreditation is unique to each of the learning programs in the institution. In order to gain programmatic acceptance, an organization must be legitimate and institutionally certified.

Unlike other universities, SIMI programs are recognized not just for the whole program itself but also for each of its training steps. Students can earn degrees for each academic year or training stage they are recognized for.

Students who graduate from PUS’s program will be granted extra pre-university degrees from the UK such as LRN, ATHE, OTHM, Qualifi, etc. due to mutual recognition.

SIMI collaborates closely with reputed and accredited institutes and universities. SIMI students can achieve a dual degree, transfer to the programs from any of SIMI’s partners, or have their results recognized through this collaboration. After the student has completed the program, SIMI’s partners will evaluate the program from SIMI, acknowledge the training results, and simultaneously issue SIMI degree.

In addition to recognition according to the National Competency Framework (NQF), the PUS system’s direct coordination with universities aids the process of continuing, transferring promptly and smoothly.

• Accumulate academic results concurrently with various possibilities for transfer, learning continuity, or obtaining additional degrees from partners
• Flexible in deciding where and how to learn
• Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)
• International recognition with the National Qualification Framework (NQF)
• Students can receive degrees for each training stage, each year and can immediately go to work with a degree for each stage.

• Ensure that candidates are adequately evaluated as the program meets the industry’s overall competency standards.
• Easily identify the proficiency level when using the Level-based degree system. In all recruitment forms and job applications in Europe, qualifications must be converted into Levels so that employers and candidates can understand them easily.
• Ensure that applicants can start working with minimal retraining since the Level-based training system is a practical system that focuses on the ability to work in a corporate environment.
• Ensure that the appropriate individuals are hired for the proper positions due to the Level-based degree (recognized for each training stage) explicitly indicating the knowledge, competence, and level that have been trained.
