Licensing of educational activities

Licensing of educational activities

Educational activity in Ukraine is subject to mandatory licensing in accordance with current legislation. This is an important stage for any educational institution that plans to issue official educational documents. The licensing procedure is designed to ensure the quality of educational services and protect the rights of education seekers.

What is an educational activity license?

A license for educational activity is an official permit granted to an educational institution or an individual entrepreneur by state authorities. This document certifies the right to provide educational services at a certain level of education in accordance with the standards of educational activity.

Licensing is carried out by education levels:

  • Preschool education
  • Complete general secondary education
  • Extracurricular education
  • Professional (vocational and technical) education
  • Vocational preliminary higher education
  • Higher education
  • Postgraduate education

Who does the licensing?

Licensing authorities are:

  1. The Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine – for institutions:
  • Professional (vocational and technical) education
  • Vocational preliminary higher education
  • Higher education
  • Postgraduate education
  1. Regional state administrations – for institutions:
  • Preschool education
  • General secondary education
  • Extracurricular education

Features of online education

The issue of online education licensing deserves special attention, which often raises many questions. If you plan to conduct training courses without issuing state documents, you do not need to obtain a license. This applies to:

  • Online courses
  • Webinars
  • trainings
  • Master classes
  • Other forms of non-formal education

An individual entrepreneur or a legal entity can engage in such activities without obtaining a special license.

Licensing is a complex process, and it begins with the preparation of the material and technical base, personnel support, educational and methodological materials and the necessary documentation.

The required documentation package includes:

  • Application for obtaining a license
  • Copies of founding documents
  • The concept of educational activity
  • Information on human resources
  • Information about the material and technical base
  • Copies of documents about the premises
  • Curricula and programs

After submitting the documents, the licensing authority has 20 working days to consider them. The total period of obtaining a license can be up to 4 months.

Requirements for the material and technical base

An educational institution must have the proper infrastructure to ensure the educational process. This is one of the key requirements for obtaining a license. It is important to understand that the requirements vary depending on the level of education and specialty.

The main requirements include:

  • Educational premises
  • Equipment and equipment
  • Library fund
  • Internet access
  • Conditions for persons with disabilities

Personnel requirements

The following requirements are established for institutions of higher education:

  • At least 50% of teachers must have a scientific degree
  • At least 10% of teachers must have a doctor of science degree
  • All teachers must undergo regular professional development

Financial aspects

The cost of licensing consists of:

  • License fees
  • Examination costs
  • Expenses for the preparation of documentation
  • Investments in the material and technical base

Tips for successful licensing

Practical experience shows that for the successful completion of the licensing procedure it is important to:

  1. Carefully study all requirements
  2. Prepare the material and technical base in advance
  3. Pay special attention to personnel selection
  4. Complete all documents correctly
  5. Take into account the terms of consideration of documents when planning activities

Renewing the license

The legislation clearly defines the cases when the license is subject to renewal. Fortunately, this procedure is much simpler than obtaining a new license.

Grounds for re-registration

The license is renewed in case of:

  • Changes in the name of the educational institution
  • Changes in the location of the institution
  • Reorganization of a legal entity
  • Changes in the surname, first name or patronymic of an individual entrepreneur
  • Changes in the place of residence of an individual entrepreneur

Important: if the change of location does not entail a deterioration of material and technical support, re-registration takes place according to a simplified procedure. b

Consult on licensing

Procedure of re-registration

To renew the license, you need:

  1. Submit an application for re-registration within 30 calendar days from the day the grounds for re-registration arise.
  2. Add to the statement:
  • The original of the previous license
  • Documents confirming the changes
  • Documents on payment for license renewal
  • Copies of founding documents (in case of changes)

The licensing authority reviews the documents within 10 working days.

Peculiarities of re-registration during reorganization

When reorganizing an educational institution, the re-registration process has its own nuances. If it happens:

  • Merger of institutions
  • Accession
  • Divide
  • Allocation
  • Transformation

It is necessary to provide additional documents confirming the legal succession and preservation of the conditions of conducting educational activities.

The educational institution has the right to continue educational activities based on the application for reissuing the license and a copy of the payment receipt during the period of consideration of the submitted documents by the licensing body.

The cost of re-registration

The amount of the fee for renewing the license is 5 tax-free minimum incomes of citizens – much lower than for the initial licensing.

Terms of validity of the reissued license

The renewed license is issued for the same term as the previous one. At the same time, the previous license becomes invalid.
