The International Association for Quality Assurance in Pre Tertiary & Higher Education (QAHE) is pleased to announce that C. Douglas Institute of Learning (CDIL) has successfully renewed its institutional accreditation with QAHE.
CDIL, which operates multi campus allied health and technician training programmes across Guyana, Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago and the United States, demonstrated continued compliance with QAHE’s standards for governance, curriculum quality, assessment and learner support. QAHE’s review recognised CDIL’s focused vocational portfolio — including phlebotomy, medical assisting, emergency medical technician, dialysis, radiology, sonography and pharmacy technician pathways — and its commitment to practical, workplace aligned training that prepares graduates for roles in the healthcare sector.
The renewal assessment took into account CDIL’s documented quality assurance arrangements, its partnerships with recognised certification bodies and national regulators, and evidence of student support and outcomes. QAHE noted CDIL’s engagement with professional credentialing organisations and national quality bodies — including the National Phlebotomy Association, National Healthcareer Association (NHA), the National Accreditation Council of Guyana and other international certification partners — which strengthen the institute’s capacity to deliver recognised vocational qualifications and certification pathways for learners.
QAHE’s renewed accreditation affirms CDIL’s ongoing work to maintain and improve teaching standards, curriculum relevance and assessment integrity across its campuses and online provision. The renewal supports CDIL’s efforts to attract a diverse student body, enhance graduate employability in allied health professions, and continue developing workplace ready competencies for healthcare support roles.
QAHE congratulates the leadership, faculty and staff at C. Douglas Institute of Learning on this achievement and looks forward to continued cooperation that supports quality improvement and positive learner outcomes.
