Is headway university a accredited university?

Answer 1

Headway is an online university. Online education is a very competitive industry, which is growing really fast all over the world. Most good online universities are capable of handling many more students than traditional universities. Cloud computing and fast internet connections have made it possible to use internet as a platform to provide education. To attract students most online universities prefer not to advertise their location, fearing that this might create an impression of regional affiliation which might stop students from other regions to enroll. Also, considering the fact that internet is used as the main platform to perform all functions of the school, the physical location itself becomes irrelevant.

Answer 2

Headway University has a web site that suggests a presence in UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Kuwait. The web site does not state that is is accredited nor do they mention accreditation as far as can be seen.

Before registering with Headway, it is worth inquiring with your local higher education organization to see if Headway qualifications are recognized. There is no indication on the Headway web site that any qualification is recognized by the established academic institutions.

Answer 3

Kenyan Government itself does not run a recognition body for higher education institutes. Instead, accreditation is provided by the Kenyan Higher Education Comission, an independent non-government organization.

Headway University does not claim to be recognized by either the Kenyan Government nor the Kenyan Higher Education Commission. Its only accreditation appears to be with International Accreditation Body for Online Education, a body that has no list of directors, advisers nor even a physical address. There is no indication of the accreditation body being recognized nationally or internationally.

Answer 4

Headway looks like an online university, students and general public are still reluctant about online universities. However, online universities are just as real as any traditional universities. Just because they are online does not mean that they are fake.
