Education Quality Assurance in Poland
Poland's education quality assurance system is overseen by the Polish Accreditation Committee (PKA), operating under the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, and aligned with European standards. If you're running or planning an education business — a school, training provider, or higher education institution — this governs licensing, accreditation, and ongoing supervision.
BIZ TRP confirms exactly what your business needs before you commit to anything.

Why work with BIZ TRP
Education licensing genuinely differs by level and programme type, and the accreditation process for higher education or vocational training is a different track from basic programme licensing.
- We confirm which licensing track applies. Basic programme licensing versus full accreditation — not the same process.
- We prepare your documentation. Curriculum, staff qualifications, and facility compliance, ready for review.
- We support ongoing compliance. Self-evaluation reporting and monitoring accreditation recommendations.
Common questions
Does this apply to informal training, not just schools?
It depends on the scope — formal courses, certificates, and structured training programmes are more likely to fall under this regulation than purely informal offerings. We confirm what applies to your specific model.
How long does licensing typically take?
This varies by programme complexity and level — we confirm current timelines for your specific case rather than quoting a generic figure.
