Event details

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. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions about the accreditation process and interact with their peers and speakers.

The workshop consists of two modules:

  • One common core module for all participants that will cover the EFMD Programme Accreditation process, as well as the Standards and Criteria
  • Two parallel focused tracks: one for schools in the Pre-eligibility stage and one for schools in the Post-eligibility stage

The online workshop contains two sessions:

27 February 2026

During this session, the experts will explain the format, required preparation and the documents that must be considered in preparation for the second part of the workshop. The first session will also provide an overview of EFMD’s Programme Accreditation process and the Standards and Criteria. Participants will already have the opportunity to meet and network in small groups.

13 March 2026

During this second session, attendees will work with an actual Datasheet and Self-Assessment Report of an EFMD accredited school.

Target group

This workshop is for you:

  • If you are in the early stages of the process or thinking about Programme Accreditation and trying to understand what it takes
  • If your school is eligible for EFMD Programme Accreditation and you are preparing an initial accreditation visit
  • If your school holds EFMD Programme Accreditation and you are preparing a re-accreditation visit
