Hello, I'm Gandalf the Groovy. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Swiss School of Business Research have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Thanks. Gandalf the Groovy (talk) 17:52, 10 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Hey Gandalf. Sorry that I removed so much, but please note that the information was incorrect. THe school is not accredited; they claim to be accredited but that is wrong. Could you revert the changes so that my corrections are visible? Functionist (talk) 17:56, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

You are misinformed. Please note that there are 2 bodies that provide accreditation to schools, universities, laboratories etc. The first as you say is Swiss Accreditation Council (which is a joint Federal/Cantonal organization that exists to quality-control publicly funded universities across Switzerland and any private universities that apply), and the second is the Swiss Accreditation Service SAS. Both accreditation agencies come under the Federal Department of Economic Affairs, Education & Research - EAER. Also under EAER comes SERI - the State Secretariat for Education, Research & Innovation and under SERI comes the Switzerland Association for further education - SVEB, that controls and oversees eduQua standards for privately funded schools, institutes, laboratories etc. ( https://www.sbfi.admin.ch/sbfi/de/home/bildung/wb/org-wb/info-organisationen-der-wb.html). eduQua standards are enforced through SAS - the Swiss Accreditation Service (https://www.sas.admin.ch/sas/en/home.html), which again comes under EAER. SAS has the authority to accredit institutions that are certified as meeting the strict Swiss and International education and procedural standards specified under eduQua. The Swiss School of Business Research and all its current courses have indeed been accredited by SAS and certified as meeting these standards (https://ssbr-edu.ch/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Certificate_eduQua_Swiss-School-of-Business-Research-GmbH_2020_e-1.pdf). SSBR has never claimed to be a university or being accredited as such. Please educate yourself with facts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ViRajPty (talk • contribs) 19:18, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
