REGISTRATION

“Registration” certifies that an institution/provider offering/proposing to offer an educational service in The Bahamas has met the criteria for the provision of such services stated in the Education Act (1962 as amended).

​

​

The Criteria for Registration is designed to provide registered institutions with a foundation for logical development towards accreditation.

​

​

Registration status; however, can in no way be equated to accreditation. Institutions/Providers that are registered by The National Accreditation and Equivalency Council of The Bahamas (NAECOB) should not purport for promotional purposes to be “accredited” by NAECOB. Institutions/Providers making such a claim do so in contravention of the Act.

REGISTRATION STEP 1

The institution submits a completed 'Registration Application Form' with accompanying documents.
