European Foundation for Management Development EFMD - EOCCS Online Course Certification System

After a thorough internal review, we have made the decision to conclude our collaboration with the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), specifically in relation to the EOCCS certification system. While we greatly appreciate the constructive engagement and professional insights received during our cooperation, it has become clear that the certification framework offered does not align with the specific regulatory and strategic objectives of our institution.

We would like to clarify that EFMD, while highly regarded in academic circles, is not a governmental or officially mandated authority for the approval or recognition of academic diplomas or degrees—an observation also noted in the certificate we received following the certification process.

Nevertheless, we take pride in having successfully undergone EFMD’s EOCCS certification process, which is recognized across Europe for its high standards in online education quality assurance. The certificate issued to us does not carry an expiration date, as explicitly stated on the document. Based on this and general legal interpretation, such certifications—when undated—may be regarded as valid indefinitely, unless revoked or otherwise limited by EFMD itself.

As such, we continue to publish the certificate on our website as a testament to the quality of our online offerings and our ability to meet EFMD’s rigorous criteria. We remain open to potential future collaborations with EFMD or other bodies, provided that the scope and framework align with our institutional goals and accreditation requirements.
