African colleges and universities with a broader range of academic programs often seek their accreditation from the ministries of education in their countries, but it is a great advantage for theological colleges in Africa to be accredited by ACTEA. Our visits to institutions enable us to evaluate their academic standards relating to admissions, teaching staff qualifications, programs and their facilities.
The staff members and volunteers who manage the accreditation process for ACTEA are all seasoned theological educators and fully understand the mission and purposes of theological colleges.
