Welcome Message

Welcome to SOFEDUC!

For more than thirty years, SOFEDUC has brought together and supported organizations committed to making quality in continuing education a lasting priority. Through its ten quality standards, SOFEDUC provides a cross-sector normative framework that enables organizations to structure their pedagogical, administrative, and organizational practices, ensure their coherence, and support continuous improvement.

The diversity of our membership is one of SOFEDUC’s greatest strengths. Educational institutions, healthcare organizations, associations, professional orders and organizations, businesses, and other continuing education providers operate in different environments but share a common commitment: to deliver high-quality learning experiences in which learning outcomes are assessed and recognized. This cross-sector reach has helped establish SOFEDUC’s standards as a common framework for advancing quality in continuing education.

At a time of rapidly evolving skills requirements, technological transformation, and growing needs for upskilling and career transition, continuing education plays a more essential role than ever. SOFEDUC is committed to the continued evolution of its normative framework, services, and practices to support its members through these transformations and contribute to the long-term advancement of quality in continuing education.

We invite you to discover SOFEDUC, its standards, its members, and the resources available to organizations seeking to place quality at the heart of their continuing education offerings.
