This policy outlines the framework, criteria, and operational rules for organizations seeking to become an authorized AAPS Education and Learning Center (ELC).
AAPS Voluntary Recognition is a private quality assurance framework designed to identify training providers that meet AAPS standards for delivering preparatory programs. Recognized providers are authorized to use the title "AAPS Education and Learning Center (ELC)."
AAPS Voluntary Recognition is not official government accreditation, statutory licensing, or educational degree accreditation. It does not guarantee that the ELC's training will be recognized by government ministries or other educational institutions. It signifies only that the provider has met AAPS internal operational and instructional standards.
To qualify for AAPS recognition, an applying organization must demonstrate compliance with the following core criteria:
The organization must be legally registered to operate as a training or educational provider in its respective jurisdiction and provide valid proof of incorporation.
ELCs must employ qualified instructors who hold relevant academic degrees or professional certifications, coupled with verified industry experience in the subjects they teach.
Providers must have adequate physical or virtual classrooms, training materials, and technical infrastructure to support the delivery of AAPS certification syllabi.
ELCs must comply with AAPS data privacy standards, ensuring that learner attendance and contact data are securely stored and not shared with unauthorized third parties.
Once recognized, an ELC enters into a formal agreement with AAPS. Under this agreement:
AAPS reserves the right to conduct periodic audits of recognized ELCs to ensure ongoing compliance with these standards. ELCs are required to maintain accurate records of learner attendance and instructor qualifications and must submit them to AAPS upon request.
If an ELC fails to maintain the required standards, provides false information, or misuses the AAPS brand, AAPS may issue a warning, suspend, or permanently terminate the recognition agreement.
AAPS Voluntary Recognition is valid for a period of 3 years. ELCs must apply for renewal before the expiration date, submitting updated operational documents and demonstrating continued compliance with AAPS standards.
If your organization meets these criteria and you are ready to apply, or if you have questions about this policy, please contact our partnership team.
