The IFEIA Framework
Seven axes against which every programme is examined. Each has its own page: what we ask, what evidence we look for, and what good looks like.
The framework is IFEIA's own. It does not copy another body's criteria. The seven axes together ask whether an institution is run well, designs its programme well, teaches and assesses it honestly, and improves it continuously.
- 01
Leadership & Governance
How the institution is directed, held to account and kept honest.

How the axes are used
- By the institution to write its self-assessment, axis by axis.
- By reviewers to structure their report and to cite the evidence behind each finding.
- By the Committee to state the reasons for a decision against the same seven headings.
