Certifications
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET is involved in a quality process, both regarding the content of its education programmes and its organisation.
The CTI authorisation to deliver Engineer qualifications
The Commission des titres d’ingénieur (CTI) has emitted a favourable opinion on Toulouse INP-ENSIACET's accreditation to award Engineer degrees in every one of its five specialities. This favourable opinion is valid for 5 years.
The CTI is an independent institution established by Law in 1934. In France, it is the relevant body in charge of carrying out evaluation procedures that lead to the accreditation of the institutions to award the engineering degree “titre d’ingénieur diplômé”. The missions of the CTI also include developing a quality assurance culture within French engineering schools, and promoting the academic and professional recognition of the French engineering degree.
The EUR-ACE label
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET was awarded with the European label EUR-ACE® by the CTI for its five Engineer Master's degrees.
This label is awarded to engineer degree programs in accordance with European standards and quality requirements, and ENAEE's Standards for Accreditation Agencies (European Network for Engineering Education) .
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET, an ISO 9001:2015-certified establishment
ISO 9001 is an international standard defining requirements for the establishment of quality management systems (QMS). It is designed to help institutions ensure that they meet the needs of their users and customers as well as regulatory requirements related to their products or services. This standard addresses all institution, whatever their size and sector.
In 2010, Toulouse INP-ENSIACET's management initiated a quality process which lead to the ISO 9001 certification of the school's Quality Management System (SMQ) in 2013. The scope of this certification covers all its training activites and its support services (administrative and technical) according to the following denomination « ENSIACET - Organisation, conception et réalisation de formations diplômantes d’ingénieur » (organisation, conception and realisation of Engineering training courses).
In april 2019, AFNOR, a certification institution, has evaluated Toulouse INP-ENSIACET's quality system and approved it as conform with the 2015 ISO 9001 standard.
Toulouse INP-ENSIACET's quality approach
The quality process initiated in 2010 includes developing a reflection with our industrial partners, our graduates and with national and global networks (Toulouse INP, CFA MidiSup, Toulouse Ingénierie , UFTMiP, Gay Lussac Federation,…), which allow us to make sure our students' and graduates' skills match the evolutions of the socio-economic worlds' needs and new strategic challenges.
This quality approach structures the organisation, allowing for :
- a proper school quality-strategy,
- defining the process behind the school's activities and their interactions,
- taking into account the needs and expectancies of the school users and workers,
- a healthy management of the school's activities, in line with its available resources,
- a continuous improvement of the school's activities.
