AECC passes British accreditation council inspection

Chiropractic Economics May 26, 2010

May 26, 2010 — The Bournemouth-based Anglo-European College of Chiropractic (AECC) has passed a British Accreditation Council (BAC) inspection, vital to its recruitment of overseas staff and students.

The AECC requires independent accreditation by the BAC to satisfy the requirements of the United Kingdom Border Agency (UKBA) in allowing the college to recruit overseas students from outside of the European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA). The accreditation also enables the AECC to recruit staff from outside the EU and EEA, subject to individual work permits being approved.

The AECC has a diverse make-up, with only half of its students and staff coming from the UK. The remaining 40 percent come from Europe and 10 percent from the rest of the world.

The award of a UKBA Tier 4 Licence (required for the recruitment outside of the EU/EEA) is therefore fundamental to the college and the BAC accreditation has enabled the AECC to obtain this.

• The AECC excelled in all five areas of the BAC examination:

• Premises and Health & Safety

• Management, Staffing and Administration

• Student Welfare

• Teaching, Learning and Assessment

• Management of Quality

During the examination process, BAC inspectors interviewed a number of staff and students, observed four learning sessions and saw two other classes during their tour of the facility.  The current student/staff ratio of 13:1 greatly impressed the examiners as this is a figure few higher education institutions in the UK are able to match.

AECC Director of Administration Jerry Lewis has spoken of his delight at the BAC accreditation and award of a UKBA Tier 4 Licence:

“The AECC as an independent higher education college is very pleased to have been accredited by the BAC after a rigorous inspection process. The purpose of the accreditation is to enable the AECC to continue recruiting students from all over the world to help maintain its status as a pre-eminent provider of chiropractic and related healthcare education.”
