Choosing the right route: degree, certificate or professional programme

Three kinds of IFEIA certificate, and how to tell which fits your programme.

The IFEIA framework is the same for every programme, but the route and the certificate depend on what you teach.

Programme Accreditation

For degree-level business and professional programmes: associate, bachelor, master or doctoral. The review looks at the whole programme against the seven axes at the level awarded.

Certificate Programme Accreditation

For stand-alone certificate programmes. The scope is tighter, and so is the review: clear outcomes, sound assessment, and certification that others can verify.

Professional Programme Recognition

For professional programmes that are not degree-level, such as practitioner or continuing professional development programmes, assessed against the same framework.
