The accreditation, certification and
re-certification policy form the back-bone of the E.B.C.P. . These policys
are documented in clear definitions and guidelines.
The accreditation policy is documented
in the Essentials and Guidelines Manual. This manual is used by institutions
seeking accreditation for their education and training programme. The document
provides opportunities to carry out summative evaluations of the education
programme, as well as conducting formative tasks and assessment activities in
preparation for the site visit.
The objective of the accreditation
criteria is not to set a maximum level for programs to attain, but to define the
minimum criteria. The list of criteria that must be achieved before the EBCP
will grant accreditation, is presented.
In September 1999 all ECCP-perfusionists
who applied for re-certification were re-certified for a three-year period. This
was granted without written evidence of their professional activitys. Since
1999, perfusionists seeking re-certification must follow a detailed
re-certification procedure that must be completed in September 2002. The
objectives of the re-certification policy and the requirements that are set are
presented.
