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.
Train multiple employees
- Volume discounts (multiple seats)
- Private or custom session
- On-site or remote
