It has developed a curriculum for a Master’s program and a Certificate program. The Education Committee is responsible for planning and executing the  Education Session at the IFNA World Congresses. It also acts  as a jury for the Poster Session at the World Congresses. The Education Committee is in charge  of evaluating applications for the three IFNA Accreditation processes (APAP) in collaboration with the APAP Manager.
