Sector overview
From university continuing-studies units to specialized academies and online course providers, education organizations can choose a provider-level review (EDP) or the review of one named course or program (COURSE). Where learners use AI tutors or assistants, the ALT supplement reviews how the provider governs that AI; platform vendors can pursue ALT platform certification.

Potentially eligible programs
Each example names the published pathway whose scope could cover it. Whether a specific program is eligible is assessed individually.
How applicability is assessed
- Describe what you operate. The program, credential, education offering or system — not just your sector.
- CHSPS confirms pathway and scope in writing. The free eligibility review records exactly what would be reviewed and what is excluded.
- Only an independent decision creates accreditation. Listing here, inquiry, payment or evidence submission does not.
Questions about this sector
Should we choose EDP or COURSE?
EDP reviews the provider's repeatable education system across its offerings. COURSE reviews a single named course or defined program when provider-wide accreditation would be broader than you need.
