Information Technology and Engineering Programs Accreditation Commission

Engineering technology, computers, applied and natural science courses are all certified by ITEPAC, an unaffiliated, non-governmental organization. In order to ensure that the upcoming generation of professionals has the knowledge and abilities necessary to spur innovation and address global challenges, it is ITEPAC’s aim to encourage high-quality education and training in these vital sectors.

ITEPAC accredits programmes rather than institutions. For post-secondary programmes housed in degree-granting institutions that have already acquired institutional accrediting agency recognition on an international, national, or regional level, they provide specialized accreditation.

ITEPAC standards, developed by technical experts from ITEPAC member societies, are focused on the learning opportunities and experiences that students have. The voluntary peer-review process used by ITEPAC is highly acclaimed throughout the world since it significantly benefits academic programmes in technical subjects, where quality, accuracy, and safety are crucial.
