The Canadian Education Quality Assessment Council (CEQAC) is governed by a multidisciplinary Council composed of experts in education, industry, quality assurance, and public interest. This body serves as both the oversight authority and the accrediting commission, responsible for interpreting CEQAC’s standards, ensuring procedural integrity, and making all final accreditation decisions.

All decisions are guided by CEQAC’s core mandate to protect learners, strengthen public trust, and foster responsible innovation within the broader education ecosystem. The Council operates independently, grounded in peer review, and driven by a commitment to continuous improvement and sector-wide credibility. The vision and mission of the CEQAC are as follows:

VISION
To be a leading authority in quality assurance for competency-based education, promoting public trust through transparent, consistent, and innovation-friendly accreditation.

MISSION
To advance educational excellence and ethical practices among education providers through independent accreditation, peer review, and continuous improvement.
