There are more than 30 courses available on the portal, with a scope that encompasses training for engineering educators, for accreditation bodies to achieve international standards and professional skills development.
WFEO, through its Committee on Education in Engineering (CEIE), will continue to develop partnerships with national and international institutions that can contribute to extending the number and the scope of the Academy training material. At the same time, the Academy has issued a sponsorship document to raise funds to support this development. While participation in the Academy courses is progressing, so is the value of supporting it as a completely not-for-profit initiative.

Call for Sponsors
The WFEO Academy has been developed through the generous support of UNESCO and individual WFEO representatives. This has enabled the foundation and the launch of the WFEO Academy. However, they need sponsors to support further development to ensure that the Academy can grow and support the development and training of engineering educators and professional engineers around the world.
Individuals can also make contributions directly from the WFEO Academy website. The sponsorship brochure is available below.
Acknowledging contributions from WFEO Members and Partners
The increase in available courses and the wide range of subjects covered is the result of the generous contribution of WFEO members and partners – the International Engineering Alliance (IEA), The International Federation of Engineering Education Societies (IFEES), The Institution of Engineers Mauritius, The Myanmar Engineering Council and the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
