IAQSA is an international education regulator.

There are over 4000 private education providers currently in operation. These include both individuals operating independently and corporate bodies.

The primary purpose of IAQSA is to ensure that appropriate, effective, and safe education is being provided to all students (in line with relevant educational curricula.)

To achieve this, IAQSA registers approved education providers based on a set of ethical standards, educational principles and security checks. IAQSA also receives and processes complaints about education providers so as to prevent the continuation of unethical and/or ineffective education.

Since becoming established, IAQSA has been instrumental in ensuring that education quality continues to improve.
