The Accredinator is a software application that helps business schools with accreditation requirements for AACSB, AMBA and EFMD. The software was developed by H2 Software. The application enables Business Schools to manage one underlying database with an easy-to-use interface that produces the required accreditation tables for faculty and publications. You can learn more about The Accredinator (including booking a free demo) here.
The team at QED is delighted to work with Professor Hans van der Heijden (University of Sussex, UK and H2 Software) on this valuable addition to our portfolio of accreditation services.
During the first 4 months of 2021, QED has been undertaking some research around how the Covid 19 pandemic has impacted individuals’ perspectives – and in turn what this means for organisations and Business Schools. We presented our initial findings during AACSB’s ICAM in early April 2021 and plan to build on these findings over 2021. For those interested in the initial findings, a copy of our presentation is available here.
EFMD revises the documentation supporting EFMD Programme Accreditation periodically and updates are usually provided in the first third of each calendar year. QED’s overview of the updates made as part of the 2021 publication, together with an assessment of the significance of the change can be found in this downloadable PDF file.
Whilst most changes are unlikely to be significant, there are a small number which should be considered by institutions within the accreditation process OR preparing for re-accreditation.
NB: This document represents QED’s interpretation of the EFMD Accredited Updates. We recommend that you view the updated documents directly – which are available from EFMD’s website
As above, QED’s summary of the updates across the key documents is available in this downloadable PDF file..

QED has listed the costs and fees associated with each of the accreditation bodies (#1 above). These can be viewed here.
AACSB’s 2020 Business Accreditation Standards were released at the end of July 2020. The new standards represent a streamlined, principles-based framework and provide flexibility for the Business School of the future
The broad transition period for the 2020 Standards is outlined in the table below:
Any school that is currently in the initial accreditation process, and expects to have a peer review visit after July 2021 should consult with their AACSB Staff Liaison to discuss their preferred transition time. Queries of a technical nature can be addressed to your AACSB Staff Liaison (for member schools), your mentor (for those in the process of initial accreditation) and/or your external advisor (such as QED).
For advice and further details on any of the above, please contact the QED Accreditation Team at info@QEDaccreditation.com.
