Inspection All accredited organisations are required to undergo inspection at regular intervals, and spot checks may be made between inspections without warning. All inspections are done by two or more inspectors. All our inspectors are experienced senior English language teaching professionals with additional expertise in teacher training, materials writing or management. The inspection usually takes place over a period of two or more days, after which the inspectors produce a report. This report is considered by an independent body, the Accreditation Scheme Advisory Committee, which advises on whether the organisation should be accredited.
Inspectors report verbally to the organisation immediately after the inspection.
Organisations also receive a copy of the inspectors' written report after it has been considered by the Advisory Committee. The British Council with its network in over 100 countries overseas and in the UK directly promotes only organisations which are accredited through the English in Britain Scheme. The British Council is the United Kingdom's international organisation for educational and cultural relations. Registered in England as a Charity.
