Accreditation Agencies
According to article 5 (3) no. 5 of the Interstate study accreditation treaty, it is one of the tasks of the Accreditation Council to authorise agencies to operate in Germany. The Accreditation Council adopted a procedure for this at its meeting on 20.02.2018. Authorisation will be granted permanently on the basis of an agency's registration with the European Quality Assurance Register (EQAR), with the possibility of revocation. In addition, the Accreditation Council adopted a transitional regulation for the agencies already active in Germany, which clarifies their responsibilities under the previous as well as the new law.
