The mission of the European Evangelical Accrediting Association (EEAA) is the accreditation of evangelical theological education in Europe. We at the Zagreb Bible Institute have been working for over a year now toward accreditation from this quality assurance organization. In late 2015, we became a member of EEAA, as well as a candidate for accreditation. In the spring of last year we received a preliminary evaluation visit.

After the entire faculty and staff worked throughout the summer and fall to produce our Self Evaluation Report (about a two-inch thick document), we were ready for the accreditation visit, which finally happened last week, March 6-8. Based on their visit with us, the visiting team has recommended us for accreditation! The final decision on our accreditation will be made at the EEAA council meeting in April.

The EEAA is a charter member of the International Council for Theological Education (ICETE), a full member of the International Network for Quality Assurance Agencies in Higher Education (INQAAHE), and an affiliate of the European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ENQA). Accreditation by this body is a significant goal in itself, as well as a step toward pursuing our local accreditation with the Croatian Ministry of Education.
