Quality Process

SFEIR Institute's commitment: an excellence approach to ensure the quality and success of all our training programs. Learn more about our quality approach

Teaching Methods Used
  • Lectures / Theoretical Slides — Presentation of concepts using visual aids (PowerPoint, PDF).
  • Technical Demonstration (Demos) — The instructor performs a task or procedure while students observe.
  • Guided Labs — Guided practical exercises on software, hardware, or technical environments.
  • Quiz / MCQ — Quick knowledge check (paper-based or digital via tools like Kahoot/Klaxoon).
Evaluation and Monitoring System

The achievement of training objectives is evaluated at multiple levels to ensure quality:

  • Continuous Knowledge Assessment : Verification of knowledge throughout the training via participatory methods (quizzes, practical exercises, case studies) under instructor supervision.
  • Progress Measurement : Comparative self-assessment system including an initial diagnostic to determine the starting level, followed by a final evaluation to validate skills development.
  • Quality Evaluation : End-of-session satisfaction questionnaire to measure the relevance and effectiveness of the training as perceived by participants.
