What about accreditation? How is that working?

We want learners to get recognition for their achievements, but that we don't issue any kind of accredited or official certificates ourselves. We are working on cross-accreditation with a few partners, but P2PU certificates are more "artworks" than "degrees".

Some people are already getting accreditation - for example, a group of students taking our Land Restoration Course have already been given the green light for credit! The P2PU course will be their "reforestation 101" for a 3 year leadership program they are beginning in a reforestation project in India. Their 3 year leadership program does count for credit at some western universities.

Other individuals are trying to organise accreditation on a case-by-case basis from the institutions they are affiliated with.

We at P2PU are interested in a community reputation that could also offer a viable alternative to the traditional accreditation systems.
