This American certificate of excellence, awarded to the best business schools in the world, recognizes the high academic quality of TBS's programs, raised to the highest international standards.
International accreditations are awarded for a specified period, at the end of which the institution has to go through the accreditation process once again: an in-depth strategic audit report, followed by a visit from the accreditors to verify on site the accuracy of the information given.
This was the case for Toulouse Business School in 2004, which was audited again by EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development) for the EQUIS certificate. Following this audit, Toulouse Business School was awarded EQUIS accreditation for the second time, and for the maximum period possible - 5 years, until 2009.
