The EFQM Training I attended was very interesting. The know-how I gained is very useful for my work.
Dr. Heli Mattisen, Director, Estonian Higher Education Quality Agency, Tallinn, Estonia
The training was very well conducted. It was a very lively workshop with generous sharing of experience among all participants.
Dr. Siret Rutiku, Head of the Office of Academic Affairs, Tartu University, Tartu, Estonia
The EFQM Leaders for Excellence (L4E) Training and the EFQM Internal Assessor Training (IAT) are the most valuable trainings I have ever attended. I have learned a lot from these trainings. The discussions around the case studies, particularly by using the EFQM Excellence Model in the Education Sector, were very beneficial. I strongly recommend the EFQM L4E and the EFQM IAT, conducted by Dr. Karl J. Koller from the Swiss Institute for Total Quality Management (ITQM).
