EPAS

Since February 2011, two of the school’s programmes have been recognised by the EPAS:

Bachelor in International Business and Masters (ESC) programmes.

No more than two programmes can be accredited in each round of evaluations, so this is a very encouraging double success for the school, which can now offer these students a programme that is balanced, coherent, international and compliant with demanding specifications. The objective of the EPAS (link to EFMD website) is to evaluate and accredit (for a maximum duration of five years) the best business and management programmes on offer (Bachelor and undergraduate degrees, Masters or Doctorates), compare them against international standards and ultimately work towards their improvement.

Tedqual

La Rochelle Business School of Tourism

is the first French tourism school to have obtained TedQual certification, thus ensuring its international visibility. The TedQual certification system, which was created in 1999 by the World Tourism Organisation under the authority of the United Nations, is a quality assurance system for education and training programmes in the tourism, hospitality and catering sectors. It works towards greater productivity and pedagogical effectiveness. The TedQual certification process establishes standards of quality and excellence on an international scale in terms of education, learning, know-how and interpersonal skills. Its criteria also cover research and teaching in tourism and hospitality management.
