There’s a new accreditation scheme for people in off-shore student recruitment

The International Education Association of Australia has a  new fellowship, a “professional credential that recognises and rewards members for their education, experience and engagement in international education.”

Aspiring fellows will “track education, experience and engagement with the sector” to accumulate points needed to become, associate fellows, fellows and senior fellows. “Members can set themselves a goal, track their activity and earn points towards being formally recognised with IEAA fellowship.”

The points framework goes live in two-weeks. Assessment costs $150 and fellows will be able to post their accreditation via the Credly digital platform.

This is the second new activity-based credential from an industry association announced in a week, the other is the Independent Tertiary Education Council Australia (ACPET as was) certified education practitioner credential (CMM August 14).
