To ensure high standards in language education, all aspects of NILE's face-to-face operation in Norwich are inspected regularly by both the British Council and Eaquals. In 2024 re-accreditation was confirmed by both organisations, with excellent feedback from the inspectors.

The publishable statement from Eaquals read:

 

NILE was inspected by Eaquals in 2024 and met the high standards required for Eaquals accreditation. The teaching, the course programmes, as well as the course organisation, the learning resources, testing and evaluation were all judged to be of high quality. It was found that the institution takes great care to protect the welfare of its clients and staff, and all publicity materials produced by the institution are accurate and truthful.
