Quality assurance
To ensure that our training is of the highest quality standard, SWEDINT's ongoing quality work is structured according to the European Standard on Quality Assurance; UN department for Peacekeeping Operations (DPO) Training and Educational Standards; NATO Education and Training Directives Bi-SC-75-2 and 75-7, and Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area.
SWEDINT's Quality Management System (QMS) ultimately aims to ensure the highest quality and relevance in SWEDINT's processes and standing orders, staff and instructors' competence and development, management and evaluation of experiences, communication and information and education systems, range/content of courses and activities, ability and capacity for education (facilities) as well as student evaluation and ability to achieve results.
The QMS is not a main process in its own, it is integrated in all activities. It is is a tool and enabler of the main goal in delivering the right solutions for SWEDINT´s stakeholders.
Swedint has since 2013 achieved NATO Unconditional Accreditation.
