On November 26th the 4th FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Committee (F-AZK) met

The FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Commission is the key body of FIBAA:
here, at the end of an intensive assessment process, the final accreditation is decided and the corresponding seal is awarded.

In addition to study programs, FIBAA also accredits higher education institutions, entire higher education systems and continuing education courses on German soil and, of course, internationally.
One of our premium seals evaluates "Excellence in Digital Education" and makes a decisive contribution to quality improvement in this area.

The outcome of the meeting on November 26th included not only accreditation procedures but also personnel changes.

FIBAA would like to welcome Prof. Dr. Ernst Troßmann as the new chairman of the FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Commission – we are looking forward to an intensive and constructive cooperation.
At the same time, we would like to bid farewell to Prof. Dr. Jürgen Weigand, who has passed on his office as Commission Chairman after many years due to time constraints.

A word of greeting from Prof. Dr. Ernst Troßmann:

"I consider the work of the FIBAA Accreditation and Certification Commission to be particularly important:
On the one hand, it ensures constant further development and updating of the quality standards for the assessment of study programs and higher education institutions.
On the other hand, it ensures that the high quality standards for accreditations and certifications are also met in each individual case. This is guaranteed by the very composition of the commission, which consists of experienced experts from the professoriate and the governing bodies of all types of higher education institutions, professional practice and the student body."

Four more commission meetings are already planned for 2022. The exact dates for these can be found here on our website.
