Today, Turing College, the online data career school that specializes in data science, analytics, engineering and web development courses, announced it has become the first accredited online college in the region, focused on information technology only. It’s a very important step for the organization itself as it brings higher education institution credibility and provides an opportunity to prove that this learning program complies with the highest international Regulatory and Accreditation Frameworks such as Bologna process, European Credit Transfer System.

Higher education in the world faces crisis – until 2030 the demand for higher education in the world will double from ~200 million active students to ~400 million. To keep up with this level of demand, we would need to establish an Oxford university every day for the next decade.
There is no way that we can build a physical school overnight that will support 25,000 students. Especially, in emerging markets.

With this accreditation, Turing College becomes one-of-the-kind online tech college in the world that can bridge that gap by bringing high quality career-focused education for millions of people around the world.

Turing College already has over 500 students enrolled in various programs and aims to reach 1000 by the end of the year. Their goal is to reach 5000 active students by 2025, making them one of the biggest tech online colleges in Europe.

This accreditation comes as Turing College became a member college of Woolf, the first global university collegiate. This institution is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) in the United States and as a higher education institution under the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). This means that the degree and diploma provided by Turing College will meet the same standards of scholarly excellence and a quality assurance process based on the European Standards Guidance. Only 10 other similar organizations have this university accreditation.

“It’s a super important step for our organization as it brings university credibility and provides an opportunity for us to prove that our education is compliant with the highest educational standards,” — says Lukas Kaminskis, CEO & Co-Founder at Turing College
