BC EQA
Education Quality Assurance (EQA) is British Columbia’s designation used to identify quality post-secondary education institutions that may enroll international students on study permits. Eligible post-secondary institutions in British Columbia may apply for EQA designation, and if designation is granted, an institution may use provincial certification trademarks associated with the EQA brand and the institution will be recommended to the federal Department of Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for inclusion on IRCC’s Designated Learning Institution (DLI) list for British Columbia.
EQA has established a Code of Practice which sets consistent standards for institutions:
• providing programs of education or training to international students;
• interacting with or engaging an education agent who engages with prospective international students; and
• providing supports to international students so that certain conditions are in place to ensure a positive experience that furthers the students’ education.
The Ministry’s focus is to support and facilitate capacity building and continuous improvement of all institutions through alignment with the standards. By applying for EQA designation, institutions agree to meet the standards outlined in the Code.
Kaplan has a Policy Manual which outlines the EQA Standards of Conduct and includes links to relevant resources (external and internal). Please visit https://www.kaplaninternational.com/kaplan-canadian-disclosures to view the manual.
