Washington Accord
An accord singed among six countries (Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand , United Kingdom and United States) in the year 1989. The purpose was to mutually recognize and accept the qualifications accredited by signatories. The accord at present has 15 full signatories and 5 provisional signatories. Members of Washington Accord have outcome based accreditation.

Accreditation Models
Minimal Model Often numeric and law-based Provides a prescription for a minimal core and very general parameters for the rest of the curriculum Does not encourage continuous improvement Input-Output Model Often involving direct prescriptions of curriculum and faculty composition Makes the accrediting process uniform and potentially fair Relatively easy to maintain Stifle innovation and creativity in the curriculum. ckchugh 01.10.13

Accreditation Models
Outcome Model Focuses on the objectives and outcomes of the program Requires evidence of measurement and attainment of objectives and outcomes Too much data may be collected and analyzed periodically
