Accreditation

SESAM accreditation programme offers you the opportunity to demonstrate your institution's quality.

With this programme an institute can be judged and validated by an independent body, internationally recognised as an opinion leader in the domain of simulation-based education in healthcare. The use of the "Accredited by SESAM" Logo is a quality marker which will allow your institution to stand out and further underline its high quality standards.

You can access more detailed information on our web page.
