51ÉçÇø

This virtual workshop will take place each day from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Central European Time and 3:00 to 7:00 p.m. Singapore Standard 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 of February 17, 2025, schools are required to attend a mandatory Eligibility Application Workshop before their application will be reviewed by the Eligibility Review Committee. Attendance at 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.

Please note:

• The live workshop must be attended in its entirety (virtual workshop - 2 days, in-person workshop - 1 day).
• The workshop recordings are made available after the live sessions and serve as a supplementary resource to support Eligibility Application preparation. Solely watching recordings does not count as workshop attendance; it is intended solely as an additional reference for participants who have completed the live workshop.
• The workshop must be attended by the individual who is registered; attendance cannot be substituted. Only registered attendees are allowed to attend the workshop virtually or in-person.
• Registrants who do not attend the workshop will not receive a certificate of completion and will be required to register for a future workshop date to meet the attendance requirement.
• If a registrant is unable to attend the workshop, you may transfer the registration to a colleague within the school or reschedule for a future workshop offering. Please contact [email protected] for assistance.

To further enhance your understanding and provide additional support, we are offering optional 1-hour Q&A sessions exclusively for registered workshop attendees. These sessions provide an 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.
