About

A clear public standard, not another ranking

Leading Institutions answers one question: did the institution pass every applicable published requirement?

What the Guide does

Checks every eligible institution in a covered area, uses public evidence, applies published pass marks and lists qualifying institutions A–Z.

What the Guide does not do

It does not rank, rate, accredit, certify, recommend, accept applications or sell inclusion.

Separate project

Leading Institutions has its own website, standards, directory and decisions. A Guide listing is not an ICEQC certification decision.

Three institution types. Three tests.

K–12 schools, higher education institutions and vocational and technical education institutions are never assessed under the same checklist.
