Accreditation

EAAP’s scope of accreditation is the accreditation and preaccreditation of practices providing services/products based on different aspects of applied psychology in Europe and/or internationally. Example of that can be HR, Coaching, Psychotherapy, Behavioral marketing, Behavioral economics, Pedagogy, Adult learning, Social care and other services and practices.
What are the benefits of accreditation?
Simply put, accreditation is quality assurance through external peer review. When an institution, specialized program/service, or single practitioner is accredited, it has demonstrated that it meets standards set by EAAP and our large list of accreditors, specialized in the different fields of applied psychology. Every accreditation is issued for the period of 3 years. After that period the recipient must undergo a similar review to mentain accreditation.
There are three types of accreditation:
- Institutional Accreditation. Accreditors review commercial and non-commercial organizations, institutes, consulting agencies, training and development centers, etc. The accreditation comprises all activities performed by the organization.
- Programatic Accreditation of specific service or product. The object of accreditors review is specific service or product.
- Professional Accreditation. Accreditors review the educational status, professional experience, specific certifications, supervision, code of conduct and ethics of the applicant. This type of accreditation is issued for one person only (name of the applicant and type of practice) and is suitable for Psychotherapists, Coaches, Consultants, HR & recruitment specialists, Soft skill trainers, etc.

Ethics & professional standards

The principles of EAAP are related to the common moral framework that guides and inspires psychologists and other professionals worldwide toward the highest ethical ideals in their professional and scientific work.
We recognize that we should carry out our activities within a larger social context. We recognize that the lives and identities of human beings both individually and collectively are connected across generations, and that there is a reciprocal relationship between human beings and their social environments. That’s why EAAP as organization is committed to placing the wellfare of society and its members above the self-interest of the discipline and its members.
