What is AIRC™ Certification?

AIRC™ Certification attests to the quality determined upon an external review of a recruiting agency which meets the AIRC™ Certification Standards for a designated period of time of no more than three years.  The AIRC™ Certification process follows global practice for quality assurance processes and consists of :

  • A background check of the agency and its owners to determine any financial or ethical irregularities

  • A vote by the AIRC board to advance applicants into candidacy

  • An external review of one or more offices as determined are appropriate and necessary

  • A review of all records and vote by an independent certification board comprised of U.S. institutional members and education professionals.

The AIRC™ Certification process is described in detail in the Certification Process & Standards Manual
