DISCIPLINE-FOCUSED ACCREDITATION IS A NEW MUST FOR UNIVERSITIES

Edvantic’s action on the global front of discipline-focused accreditation is quietly yet powerfully resetting the popular understanding of accreditation. This is indicated by their partnership as the exclusive global implementor of the accreditation programs of the World Data Science Initiative (WDSI). It is undoubtable that Edvantic’s method of a 100% digital process ensuring zero disruption and no on-campus audit-visits of audit teams is a big attraction for universities.

In Africa and Asia alone, Edvantic is helping more than 200 institutions get their technology and computer science departments accredited by global leaders in data science and artificial intelligence standards. In one shot, these institutions that only had local audiences and reach, are now getting global support and acknowledgement for their standards of education, raising the employability of their students to global levels.

Edvantic is making powerful changes in the accreditation space on a global scale and is expanding the scope of accreditation beyond traditional disciplines. Using its globally distributed ecosystem, Edvantic is helping universities of all hues and sizes in Asia, Africa and Middle East get departments accredited by global standards bodies like the Data Science Council of America (DASCA) and the Artificial Intelligence Board of America (ARTiBA) with objective, no-fuss, non-disruptive and speedy implementation of knowledge standards and audit processes.

Edvantic’s model is simple, but demands an extremely large apparatus to make things happen. It deploys its unique digital backbone and relationships with international certification bodies to get the very best knowledge and education delivery standards across disciplines to flow into local, small and niche universities at great speed, convenience and RoI.

Edvantic’s assimilation of CredForce into its fold has helped the company greatly in rapidly expanding its overall capabilities and reach a point where it is virtually setting up a whole new industry around Accreditation. This is critical because Edvantic manages front- and back-end business operations including logistics, customer experience management, publishing, testing, billing and invoicing for its client certification bodies.

“We are seeing education around the world change and evolve very rapidly,” says Aariya Goel, VP of Global Education Initiatives at Edvantic. “Our goal is to empower education institutions and their students for greater success, and we think discipline focused accreditation is one of the best ways we can do that right now. We’re happy to be helping so many institutions come out of these tumultuous times with this upgrade,” Goel continued. In a post-Covid world, when universities need to overcome the threat of reducing student volumes and upgrade learning experiences, strategies like departmental accreditation are becoming essential, and Edvantic is gearing itself to meet the demand.

EDVANTIC EXPANDS INTO CREDENTIALING

30 Sept 2020, Austin, TX – As a growing young enterprise with extensive education expertise, Edvantic is now expanding into the credentialing space. For industry watchers this will come as no surprise. With their core education capabilities and alliance with CredForce, the global credentialing powerhouse, Edvantic was already close to the industry which they are now expanding into. Edvantic expects its new credentialing business to add several new segments of enterprise and institutional clients, as well as providing it the resources to add new value to its existing clients of other education services.

Edvantic’s credentialing portfolio will now include a wide range of business and supply-chain services designed for global certification agencies, accreditation bodies, and large global organizations having their own internal employee certification mechanisms.

Though still a slightly niche industry, credentialing is well-massed now, being the driving force behind the next generation of education, training and capacity building worldwide. Credentialing is steadily getting stronger and more robust with the demand for certifications rising among employers and professionals. This has compounded with the emergence of new industries and employee functions that require new sets of skills and knowledge bases backed by neutral, independent mechanisms of competence validation.

Edvantic’s assimilation of CredForce into its fold provides not only synergy but a robust, ready-to-deliver internal ecosystem that will allow Edvantic to rapidly position itself as an integrated credentialing service provider for top-tier certification bodies. This move brings with it many large global clients as well. “We are excited to be adding such advanced credentialing services to our portfolio,” said Randy Decko, Global Head of Education Services for Edvantic.  “This new chapter will allow us to increase the value and quality of education we can bring to people around the world, so it’s very good.”

For its client certification bodies, Edvantic will now manage all front and back-end business operations including logistics, customer experience management, publishing, testing, billing and invoicing.
