The EQA Designation helps you identify which provincial post-secondary institutions have met government assurance standards and offer consumer protection.

Find out how the EQA seal can help you choose a BC post-secondary institution.

The EQA Seal provides one standard provincial trademark for educational quality assurance that is recognizable worldwide and:

• Allows international students to easily see which BC institutions have met government recognized quality assurance standards and offer consumer protection,
• Eliminates the need for learners to understand the different provincial quality assurance processes that govern each type of BC post-secondary institution,
• Helps parents, counsellors, agents and officials support students to choose a quality post-secondary institution for their overseas studies.
