Recognition Programme

The International Diabetes Federation offers a recognition programme whereby institutions offering courses in diabetes education and management are recognized if they meet international standards set by IDF. Recognition is conferred after an external review by members of the Consultative Section on Diabetes Education (DECS) if the course meets  the recognition criteria.

The benefits of the Recognition Programme are:

  • signifies the institution has achieved a level of excellence in  educating  healthcare providers working in the field of diabetes education at a local or sub-regional level;
  • provides the public with reassurance the programme demonstrates excellence and has undergone a professional external review and;
  • successful courses are permitted to use the IDF logo (in accordance with IDF guidelines) and the statement “This course was recognized by the IDF Consultative Section on Diabetes Education” on promotional and/or educational material for the course.
