Accreditation by Continuing Education Department

Different rules may apply for WM days, which can be found on the member website.

Application for Foreign Continuing Education
Foreign continuing education can be requested individually by a member from the department. The application, with all relevant information, must be submitted well before the start of the course. Approved foreign continuing education will be visible in the course offerings on the members' section of our website and in the Huang Ti.

Only pre-accredited further education courses will be registered.
