American Board for International Accreditation
ABIA is an independent accreditation body that certifies vocational training providers, technology companies and applications, and individual professionals. Every ABIA seal is built on the principles of a recognized standard — including ISO 21001, ISO 29993, ISO 17024, and ISO 25010 — so employers, learners, and partners know exactly what was checked, and can check it again.

Why Get Accredited with ABIA
Credibility
A self-issued badge only says what you claim about yourself. Standards-based accreditation from an independent body shows partners, clients, and learners that a defined benchmark was actually checked.
Global Recognition
ABIA seals are built on the principles of internationally recognized frameworks like ISO 21001, ISO 29993, ISO 17024, and ISO 25010, giving your accreditation a common language that partners across borders already understand.
Verifiable Trust
Every ABIA credential carries a unique serial number. Anyone can confirm it's genuine, current, and really issued by ABIA using our free online verification tool.
Professional and vocational, not academic. ABIA certifications and diplomas are Professional and Vocational Qualifications that validate workforce competency and technical skills. They are non-academic in nature and are not intended to replace, substitute, or equate to university degrees. Because ABIA operates as an independent, non-governmental standard-setting body for professional and vocational credentials — not as a degree-granting academic institution — ABIA does not require accreditation from another accrediting body to certify at this level.
