The Second International Confirmation of Quality in Online Learning

In addition to the UNIQUe international accreditation, DOBA Business School has also received the EOCCS certification as the first higher education institution in Slovenia and the broader region.

DOBA Business School has achieved new major success in online learning. The school has obtained the EOCCS (Online Course Certification System) certification for its high-quality implementation of online learning. The certification is awarded by the most important European association of business schools, EFMD (European Foundation for Management Development).

The EOCCS Certification Board composed of international experts assessed four key areas and 50 detailed criteria. This complex approach required DOBA to meet high-quality standards in comprehensive institutional context of online learning, programme and course structure, educational content, pedagogical approaches to online learning, the achieving of learning outcomes, support and care for student development, ties with the community, internationalisation, monitoring and quality assurance.

This certification places DOBA Business School alongside renown institutions such as ESADE, BI Norwegian Business School, Grenoble Ecole de Management, Politecnico di Milano School of Management, the Open University Business School, Henley Business School, ESSCA, and others which confirm the quality of online learning with this certification.
