What is it and what does it involve?
In response to this need, schools and institutions now have the possibility to carry out an audit plan following Escalae criteria, once the Strategic Pedagogy Plan has been implemented, to certify classroom quality. The international certification organisation TÜV-Rheinland is responsible for carrying out the audit.
Escalae criteria are present throughout the entire certification process: from training and accrediting auditors to checking the findings obtained, and monitoring and technical oversight of audits, as well as issuing the corresponding certificate, once the process is complete.
