Two business partners shaking hands

Partners

The organizations ACLAS works with

Verification providers, payment processors, education networks and technology bodies. These are commercial and institutional relationships — none of them is an accreditation.

10 published partnershipsVerificationPaymentsEducation networks
Accreditation recordVerification services

Partnership is not accreditation. ACLAS publishes its accreditations and its partnerships separately, and the distinction matters when a credential is being assessed. An accreditation is an external judgment against quality standards. A partnership is a working relationship — often to make verification or payment easier.

How to read a partnership claim

What a partnership does and does not tell you

It does tell you
Which third parties can verify, evaluate or process something connected to an ACLAS credential.
It does not tell you
That the partner endorses the academic standard of an ACLAS award, or that it recognizes the award itself.
Where to check
The accreditation page for anything about recognition; the verify section for anything about authenticity.

Questions

Partnership questions

What these relationships are, and what they are not.

Is a partnership the same as accreditation?

No. None of these relationships is an accreditation. Accreditations are held from EAHEA, QAHE, AQS and the CPD Certification Service, and are recorded separately on the accreditation page.

Does a partnership make my ACLAS credential more recognized?

It can make it easier to verify and to evidence. It does not change how a jurisdiction, institution or employer recognizes the award, which remains a decision for the receiving body.

Does ACLAS require a Duolingo English Test to enroll?

No. Our arrangement with Duolingo only provides a discounted price for students who want an English test result for their own purposes, such as another university's admissions or a visa. A Duolingo result is not required to enroll.

Who handles payment processing?

PayMyTuition is the principal education payment partner, alongside PayPal, card networks, USDT, Geoswift, Xendit, Western Union and bank transfer. ACLAS also names WinTopay as a third-party payment processing partner.

Are there partnerships without a separate detail page?

Yes. Grassroots Justice Network and Pledge 1% are official partner affiliations listed on our institutional register. Full background details are available through their respective public organizational portals.
