EFMD Global brings you another edition of the EQUIS Accreditation Workshop, designed as a dynamic and collaborative learning experience to support institutions at various stages of their EQUIS accreditation journey.
Participants will engage with the EQUIS accreditation team, who will be available to provide advice during the group discussion as participants reflect on actual case material and apply their learning to their own situations. One of the aims of this workshop will be to create a supportive community where participants can learn and exchange ideas with each other.
Participants engage with EQUIS accreditation experts in a supportive community. They gain the skills to interpret and apply the Standards and Criteria effectively, grasp the purpose and requirements of the Datasheet, understand the role and potential benefits of the SAR in the accreditation process, and learn to organise a successful Peer Review Visit.
This seminar fosters an environment for knowledge exchange and interactive learning, equipping participants with the expertise needed to navigate the EQUIS accreditation process with confidence.
This workshop is for you if:

In between the sessions, attendees will have the opportunity to work asynchronously (individually as well as in peer groups). Time will be allocated for Q&A. This will enable participants to clarify any questions they have about the accreditation process and interact with their peers.
Prerequisites
Participants must read the EQUIS Core Documents Package (Standards & Criteria, Process Manual, and Annexes) prior to the workshop. Individual preparation and active participation are vital to getting the most out of the workshop.
