Translation

認定する / 公認する / 資格を与える

Meaning

Accredit means to officially recognize that a school, organization, course, or professional meets a required standard. It is not the normal verb for giving a student credit for an answer. The learner trap is confusing accredit with credit.

Examples

• その大学は国の機関によって認定されています。
  The university is accredited by a national agency.
• 認定された研修プログラムだけが資格要件を満たします。
  Only accredited training programs meet the licensing requirement.
