This virtual workshop will take place each day from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time and 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Central European Time.
This new workshop is designed to provide schools with more comprehensive guidance at the very start of their accreditation journey, ensuring stronger applications and helping schools better assess their readiness for the accreditation process.
As from February 17, 2025, schools are required to attend a mandatory Eligibility Application Workshop before their application will be reviewed by the Eligibility Review Committee. Attending the workshop is required before submitting an eligibility application. The workshop remains valid for two years; after this period, the school must attend another workshop to submit a new eligibility application.
To further enhance your understanding and provide additional support, we are offering an optional 1-hour Q&A session exclusively for registered workshop attendees. This session is your opportunity to ask follow-up questions, gain deeper insights, and clarify key concepts covered in the workshop.
Q&A Sessions: more details will be available in your workshop materials
