In 2014, the British Accreditation Council recognized that ESE was listed along with other institutions which lead to degrees awarded by recognised bodies.^[5] That certification has since expired. In 2014, a report by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education stated that the existing partnership agreement with the Buckingham University was terminated for strategic reasons.^[6][7]
