CIBTAC's reputation is maintained by only accrediting those schools that can offer a truly professional environment. All schools must satisfy CIBTAC that they can meet and maintain the very high standards set by the Board. There are minimum requirements in terms of accommodation, facilities, equipment and products and levels of teaching.

ITEC is the largest international examination board offering a variety of qualifications worldwide.

ITEC provides 31 qualifications that are UK government accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), on behalf of the Department for Education and Skills, and are registered on the National Qualifications Framework in the UK. These ITEC qualifications attract funding from the Learning and Skills Council.

ITEC qualifications are supported by industry and are easily transportable nationally and internationally.

The ITEC system is expressed in units allowing students to study at their own pace.

ITEC has ensured that best practice in the work place has been reflected in the syllabus for each qualification and each has been linked to the relevant job role, as well as ensuring that the syllabus reflects the required level of knowledge and skill needed for a practicing therapist.

The accreditation body for the Advanced Teachers Training Yoga Programme is the International Yoga Alliance (RYT 500), internationally accredited body for governing yoga standards and teaching.

Yoga Alliance® supports yoga teachers and the diversity and integrity of Yoga. Their mission is to lead the yoga community, set standards, foster integrity, provide resources, and uphold the teachings of yoga.

Based in USA, the Yoga Alliance® was formed in September 1999 and established a national Yoga Teachers' Registry to recognize and promote teachers with training that meets minimum training standards. Teachers who meet these standards are eligible to register as "RYT®"s (Registered Yoga Teachers).

In 2005, in conjunction with enhanced revised standards for registration, they began recognizing and registering teachers with significant teaching experience in addition to training (Experienced Registered Yoga Teachers, or "E-RYT®"s).

Yoga Alliance® also maintains a Registry of Yoga Schools to recognize yoga teacher training programs of at least 200 or 500 hours. A school whose curriculum satisfies or exceeds their minimum training standards may apply to register as a "RYS®" (Registered Yoga School). Once a school is registered, all graduates of a RYS® are automatically eligible to register with us as RYT®s.

This is an internationally recognized accreditation body for qualifying Yoga Teachers and Yoga teaching Schools which meet the minimum criteria.
