CCEI Assessment Standards

The CCEI Assessment Standards establish the principles, processes, and quality benchmarks for all assessments conducted under the Chartered Culture and Education Institute. Informed by internationally recognized frameworks - such as ISO/IEC 17024, ISO 9001, the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), and the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing, these guidelines ensure fairness, reliability, and global alignment across our evaluation programs.

(Disclaimer: CCEI assessments are independently developed and are not affiliated with ISO or any other certification body.)
