ABET - the US-based Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology is a reputable organization that certifies the quality of engineering education programs through its accreditation activities.

ABET's standard is considered the "gold standard" in assessing the quality of engineering technology training and is the international recognition for the quality of the assessed training programs of a university.

Over the years, LHU has invested heavily in education quality accreditation. Up to now, the University has met the quality accreditation standards of the Ministry of Education and Training, and had six training programs meeting AUN-QA Standards. It is expected LHU will have four more training programs assessed by AUN-QA by 2023.
