Identity and legal status
The contact page gives the registered address under the heading "IEAC Limited": 2nd Floor College House, 17 King Edwards Road, Ruislip, London, HA4 7AE. We looked for the company number on the home, contact, FAQ, terms of use, payment terms, data protection, complaints and about pages and did not find it. Companies House lists IEAC LIMITED (15419711), a private limited company incorporated on 17 January 2024, Active, with the same registered office and nature of business SIC 85600 (educational support services). The filing history records accounts for a dormant company made up to 31 January 2025 and 31 January 2026; the website publishes accreditation fees and a list of accredited institutions with reference numbers dated 2024, 2025 and 2026. Companies House records that one director and person with significant control ceased on 1 September 2026 and that two directors were appointed from that date, filed on 27 and 28 October 2026; it lists one active person with significant control holding more than 50% but less than 75% of the shares. The site footer and contact page also list "International Education Accreditation Council Co., Ltd ( Asia Office)" at an address in Bangkok; we looked for a statement of its relationship to IEAC Limited and did not find one. The FAQ page offers a "consultancy service" to institutions, including assistance "in formulating policies and procedures"; we looked for a statement on how that service is separated from accreditation and did not find one. Accessed 28 October 2026.

Published information
The IEAC Standards page links downloadable accreditation standards for colleges, language schools and faith-based institutions; online education providers; schools; universities and higher education; and technical and vocational education and training. The FAQ page states "There is an application fee of £500 and an inspection fee", that the inspection fee ranges "from £2000 to £10,000" depending on the institution and country, and that "Annual License fees are also charged once accreditation is awarded"; we looked for the annual licence fee figure and did not find it. A payment terms page states "There is no refund available for any reason whatsoever". A terms of use page, a data protection policy and a complaints policy are published. Placeholder text beginning "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" appears beneath the headings of the FAQ, complaints, accreditation process, standards, data protection, about and terms of use pages, and the about page contains the text "Please add – Standards which are aligned with the ESG and EQAR standards". The site is served over HTTPS.
The FAQ page states "IEAC accredits an institution as a whole, not the individual courses" and refers to a separate programmatic accreditation route. The Institutions Accredited page lists institutions across 20 pages with a category, star rating and a reference number in formats such as IEAC-ACC-2024-017 and IEAC-MEM-2025-080, and states that inspection reports are released with the institution's permission. The accreditation process page states "Accredited institutions are typically reviewed by IEAC every 4 years" with biennial reports in the interim, and "Accreditation is generally granted for a 4-year period". The ICO register lists IEAC LIMITED under registration reference ZB878897, registered 22 March 2025, expiring 21 March 2027, at the Ruislip address. Accessed 28 October 2026.
