"Professional recognition"

Recognition by a professional association that a program meets industry standards and requirements. Recognition is on the basis of graduate qualification, and does not involve a formal accreditation process or a detailed review of the curriculum and other elements of the program. Graduates are eligible for membership of the professional association, but are not required to gain formal registration to begin professional practice.
