With this achievement, PORTMAN became the world’s first AI-powered education platform recognised under ISO 21001:2018, setting a new global benchmark for how artificial intelligence is governed, implemented, and scaled in education.
ISO 21001:2018 is a globally recognised standard specifically designed for education providers. It focuses on structured governance, learner-centric systems, accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement. The certification confirmed that an education organisation operates under disciplined, auditable, and internationally accepted management frameworks.
The certification covered PORTMAN’s provision of AI-driven educational and professional development programmes, including curriculum design, delivery of learning processes, learner support services, assessment and evaluation systems, and continuous improvement of teaching and learning through AI-enabled tools and platforms.
“This certification is not a badge — it is validation,” said PORTMAN Education Group. “It confirms that what we have built is not experimental. It is governed, structured, and meets international education standards.”
The certified scope recognises:
- Structured and governed curriculum design processes.
- AI-powered learning delivery systems.
- Integrated learner support is embedded into the platform.
- Data-driven assessment and evaluation mechanisms.
- Continuous improvement through AI-enabled education tools.
For learners, the certification ensures a learning experience that is credible, structured, and globally recognised.
For partners, it signals collaboration with an organisation that meets world education standards.
For institutions and regulators, it demonstrates PORTMAN’s commitment to transparency, discipline, and accountability in AI-powered education.
While many institutions discuss artificial intelligence in education, PORTMAN has taken it a step further by building, operating, and certifying its AI-powered education ecosystem against an international standard.
“This is not the finish line,” PORTMAN added. “It is the proof point.”
PORTMAN Education Group continues to position itself not merely as a participant in AI-driven education, but as a platform helping define its global standards.
