EQAS-FOOD CERTIFICATE is a quality label awarded by the ISEKI Food Association (IFA) as a means of identifying high quality short courses in Food Science and Technology in Europe or internationally.
The basis of the certification is the European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning. These criteria are an instrument for the dissemination of good practice and for the promotion of continuous improvement.
Are you interested in certifying a training course? It is strongly recommended to read the Procedures and Criteria for Short Course Certification before starting with the application process. Then, please fill in the application form, and send it to eqas@iseki-food.net. After that you will receive information to continue with the application process.
Awarded activities will be made available on the Foodcareers training database (with the EQAS-FOOD CERTIFICATE label) and on the IFA website. The award is valid for one calendar year for new courses and three calendar years for existing courses. After expiration of the validity, the programme can be resubmitted for assessment.
Course providers who have had their course(s) successfully certificated should use the label in publicity about the course and may also use it in general publicity about their organisation.
