Get your healthcare course accredited with the EIT Label

The EIT Label is a European quality mark awarded by the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) to education offerings that meet defined quality standards covering both the design and delivery of high-quality learning experiences and the integration of innovation and entrepreneurship.

As part of EIT Health’s accreditation approach, these requirements are complemented by the EIT Health Competency Framework. The framework defines eight core competencies relevant to innovation and entrepreneurship in healthcare and provides a common reference for assessing the learning outcomes and competency development addressed by each course.

Who is it for?
EIT Health accreditation is designed for organisations providing non-degree education and training relevant to the healthcare sector, including:

• Higher Education Institutions
• Healthcare organisations
• Industry and training providers

The accreditation is particularly suited to programmes supporting the upskilling and reskilling of professionals and developing the competencies and skills needed to address current and emerging healthcare challenges.

What are the key quality requirements?
To be ready for EIT Health accreditation, your educational programme should have:

• Healthcare relevance, contributing to Digital Health, Health Technology Management, or Health Systems
• A clear learner profile, including target audience, entry and expected achievement levels
• A well-defined learning journey, including duration, workload and measurable learning outcomes
• Strong educational alignment, with a transparent and consistent assessment approach
