The EFMD Programme Accreditation Workshop is designed to cater to the needs of schools whose programmes are yet to gain eligibility and those who have already done so and are preparing for their Peer Review Visit. Colleagues new to EFMD Programme Accreditation in schools with an already accredited programme are also very welcome to participate. There will be a heavy focus on group work and Q&A sessions, as well as an external speaker who will share their experiences in Programme Accreditation.
