The FIBAA Quality Seal for certified continuing education courses is a certification for learning opportunities that do not conclude with an academic degree. FIBAA has developed this quality seal in analogy to the internationally recognized FIBAA accreditation of academic study programmes. Like FIBAA accreditation, the certification is based on the quality requirements of the European Study Guidelines (ESG).
Within this framework, FIBAA examines the principles of student-centred learning and teaching, transparent regulations for admissions, course participation and examinations, the qualifications of the teaching staff, the organizational and technical infrastructure including documentation and information about the courses offered, as well as quality management for the continuous further development of the courses offered.
In addition, there is the examination of the teaching and learning content and examination procedures regarding the qualification objectives and the didactic methods used. Finally, FIBAA's assessment also includes compliance with the provisions of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to facilitate the recognition of courses within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) with a total of 49 countries. FIBAA thus creates transparency regarding the level of quality and supports the global trend towards lifelong learning.
"Industry Micro-Credentials offer individuals of varied backgrounds a clear path to future career readiness, and FIBAA certification provides certainty to stakeholders that each professional certificate is a quality-assured education and training programme ", said Diane Freiberger, FIBAA Managing Director.
