Accreditations

LanguageOnSale wishes to only collaborate with language schools that meet an accreditation standard issued by the respective country's acknowledged and recognised authority.

The various accreditation councils are primarily focused on the institutions where the actual education takes place. LanguageOnSale is a promoting and supporting agency, which means most of the standards do not apply to us. However, as an agency we are bound by representation clauses issued by the individual education institutes and by the Danish Law.

LanguageOnSale is recommended by CIRIUS - an authority within the Danish Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation. The other organisations on this page are only indirectly associated with LanguageOnSale through the language schools represented on this website.

Each organisation has strict rules for its members, which ensures a high quality standard that is under constant review. The following list includes only the most recognised organisation. To see what accreditation standard is applied on a specific language school, a specific language course must be selected.
