What our learners say

"The ISQua Specialist Programme on Fundamentals of External Evaluation (FEES Programme) is well designed and provides an excellent overview of the external evaluation surveying.  What I learned from the FEES programme will guide me in my professional life as a surveyor in every step of the evaluation process in which I will be involved. 
I believe the knowledge I acquired will help me advise hospitals directly on their quality improvement beyond just the evaluation process.

With the help of the FEES, I can now provide more structured advice for hospitals globally. To illustrate, FEES taught me how to assess hospitals more effectively, develop a more solid relationship with key people in the healthcare organisations, be prepared for unexpected conflicts, and even give feedback to the hospitals, including how to write a good report. 
The copious examples that the FEES programme has provided me will undoubtedly play a role as templates guiding the hospitals to better healthcare."

What our learners say

"The ISQua Fundamentals of External Evaluation Surveying Specialist Certificate helped me advance my knowledge on various evaluation methodologies from a global perspective. The course material has been well-crafted and addressed all phases of the evaluation process. It was interesting to go through the modules on survey report writing and key challenges associated with external surveying which spoke about assessing the facts, discussing variances, managing emotions, and resolving differences.  
Thank you ISQua, the FEES program has further enhanced my knowledge and confidence in one of my favorite subjects."
