This commitment to legal compliance and transparency is at the core of our operations.
Furthermore, we take great care to maintain our infrastructure and student support services entirely within Switzerland. By doing so, we underscore our dedication to upholding Swiss standards of excellence and efficiency in all aspects of our institution. This localized approach not only ensures seamless operations but also reflects our unwavering commitment to providing our students with the highest quality education and support services possible.

Being accredited by EDU not only affirms our steadfast dedication to academic excellence but also underscores our organization's pledge to advocate for quality education as a fundamental human right. It mirrors our continuous endeavors to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and resources essential for success in an ever-evolving and interconnected global landscape.
All our Vocational and Advanced Diplomas hold official approval from the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA), the Dubai National Education Authority, a government entity in Dubai.

Programmatic Accreditation: Our business administration study programs, including Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees, have received accreditation from the ECBE (European Council for Business Education). Initially affiliated with ENQA and in the process of seeking full recognition from EQAR, ECBE ceased their application, leading us to discontinue our accreditation process with them. However, if you consider affiliation with such organizations essential for your future pursuits, we encourage you to reach out to us. We remain open to re-establishing contact and facilitating partnership activation to meet your needs.
Programmatic Certification: Our Mini Diploma in eBusiness and Global Marketing has received certification from the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) EOCCS Online Course Certification System. Although EFMD is not a government-approved quality label, this certification signifies our dedication to upholding excellence in education. It's worth noting that EFMD is registered in Switzerland, where certifications without expiration dates indicate a one-time inspection that remains valid indefinitely according to Swiss regulations. Therefore, similar to earning a higher education degree, your certification remains valid indefinitely following the successful completion of the final inspection. However, if you consider affiliation with such organizations essential for your future pursuits, we encourage you to reach out to us. We remain open to re-establishing contact and facilitating partnership activation to meet your needs.
International students can rest assured that all our Diplomas will come with an apostille stamp, recognized for legalization in nearly 120 countries worldwide.

ISBM is a private and independent institution that operates in application with the Swiss Law.
The rise of online education has been remarkable, driven by institutions' ability to maintain quality and deliver exceptional services. Despite its benefits, online learning also poses inherent risks, given that all interactions occur through web platforms. Students place immense trust in their chosen online educational institutions and are wary of any potential betrayal. While many online institutions prioritize integrity, there are some unscrupulous actors in the industry who prioritize profit over quality delivery. As a result, students are continuously searching for trustworthy mediums that meet their expectations. ISBM Switzerland stands out as an organization that inspires trust and confidence. Committed to providing honest and dedicated services, ISBM adheres to high standards and strives to empower individuals genuinely motivated to learn and enhance their future prospects.
Important:
We have decided not to continue our partnership with certain organizations mentioned earlier, primarily because of limited interest from our students. Nevertheless, if you feel that one of these organizations is essential for your future goals, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are open to re-establishing connections with them and assisting in the process of activating our membership or accreditation, albeit with an additional fee.
At ISBM Switzerland, our mission is to provide accessible, affordable, and innovative learning opportunities and programs of the highest quality. We are committed to meeting the diverse needs of individuals seeking integrity in their personal lives, professions, and communities. Upholding the highest standards of academic excellence, we cultivate a dynamic learning environment where faculty and staff promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
