Course Accreditation
The International Student Athlete Program’s educational programs all follow the internationally recognised European Qualifications Framework (EQF). Making national qualifications more readable around the world while encouraging lifelong learning!!
This way you can start your studies in one European country, and continue in another without having to “translate” your qualifications in order to do so. Also showing your future employers that all of your education is of the highest standard!!

The EQF system is set up in 8 levels, each one having its own intended learning outcomes. These are in turn divided into 3 parts:
- Knowledge
- Skills
- Responsibility & Autonomy
