With effect from 21 December 2009, all Private Education Institutions (PEIs) may commence registration with the Council for Private Education (CPE) and subsequently apply for EduTrust-certification. PEIs including those who are under the CaseTrust for Education scheme must be EduTrust-certified before being able to offer placement for international students who require a Student's Pass from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
What is EDUTRUST?
Beacon is currently not Edutrusted yet. Beacon is working towards attaining the Edutrust certification. Edutrust is awarded by Private Education Institutions (PEI) which have met minimum standards in specified criteria such as having established processes, good academic and business practices and be of at least reasonable financial health.
In addition, EduTrust-certified PEIs will be banded based on their scores in the criteria and the banding will be made known publicly. Students are thus able to make more informed choices. Local and international students will equally benefit from the introduction of EduTrust as their fees will be protected.
