THE-ICE is an international body that is specifically focused on accrediting courses in tourism, hospitality and events at both the vocational and higher education levels. In recognition of the diversity of available education, THE-ICE accredits courses at universities, in private hotel schools, and vocational colleges. Once the courses at an institution are accredited, then the institution becomes a Member of THE-ICE.
Institutions seeking accreditation and membership of THE-ICE are initially reviewed by the Board through a pre-accreditation assessment process. Once accepted, the institution becomes an Associate of THE-ICE for a period of up to three years. It is during this period that the institution applies for full accreditation.
