The EFMD Programme Accreditation team took much of last year to revise all documents for the EFMD Programme Accreditation, taking experiences of accreditations over the previous years into account. As a result, the documents now provide easier orientation for the EFMD Programme Accreditation process. The updates reflect trends and valuable feedback from EFMD members and will further support them on their journey to improvement.

The major updates:

• a complete revision of the Standards & Criteria with a particular focus on ERS, digitalisation and internationalisation
• a full review of the Process Manual (“User Guide”)
• a new, improved structure of the Process Manual Annexes
• improved and smoother accreditation process

Learn more, watch the zoom webinar “EFMD Programme Accreditation Documents Revision 2022,” held by the Director of EFMD Programme Accreditation, Professor Barbara Sporn, on 4 February.

The new documents can be found on the EFMD website.
