EFQM Foundation Training


The Centre for Competitiveness is committed to assisting organisations on their journey to excellence. Since 1994 it has been the National Partner Organisation (NPO) in N. Ireland for EFQM and in 2012 became the EFQM Partner for Ireland. As such, CforC is solely responsible for the provision of licensed training against the model.

The New EFQM Model was launched at the EFQM Forum in October 2019 and, as EFQM's country partner for Ireland, CforC is providing Foundation Training on the new model.

Whilst this training is effective as a stand-alone course, it is also the starting point for all EFQM qualification routes.
