Become an Accredited Training Provider

The accreditation to carry the EIT Label is based on a peer review process managed by the Learning and Assessment Advisory Board. Members of the board are appointed after a careful nomination and interview process to ensure they possess the right experience and qualifications and an understanding of the demands of the competitive agrifood sector.

We also use professional organisations whose role is to oversee the learner certification process and have staff dedicated to help you manage the procedural aspects of the accreditation and certification processes.

The EIT Label upholds the highest standard within the agrifood sector. We align with internationally recognized guidelines and networks to define a robust accreditation process. 

The criteria for this process are drawn from diverse references, including collaborations with professional bodies, apprenticeship organisations, and academic institutions from across Europe. Starting from their experience, we’ve defined the EIT Food Competency Framework. This framework identifies the key competencies and capabilities required of our accredited programmes. 

The accreditation of professional education and training lies at the heart of our vision to professionalise the agrifood system. This is our way of acknowledging lifelong learning, benefiting both learners and employers.

For training and education providers, the EIT Label signifies excellence in teaching innovation and entrepreneurship. It showcases their contribution to its rigorous educational values. We understand the need for a practical and accessible accreditation process. That’s why we commit to collaborate closely with our training providers, to ensure that the accreditation procedures are user-friendly and do not burden providers, without compromising the quality and integrity of the programmes we endorse.
