Syllabus Document for IHE Foundations exam
- Status (final)
- Document is now in final version 1.0 at IHE_Foundations_Exam_Syllabus_V1.0.pdf
Processes Document
- Status
- Open issues
- Validity date of certificates
- Process document must be extended by such a chapter
- Decision point 1: Currently the validity period is bound to the exam, means: it can vary from exam to exam, depending on the nature of the exam and how much the content changes over time
- Does it make sense and shall that remain?
- Or shall we decide for “one validity period” of all exams (for simplicity reasons)?
- Decision point 2: Validity period of the “IHE Foundation exam”
- See doodle: Poll
- Decision: Validity period remains an attribute of the exam (may vary from exam to exam)
- Decision: Validity period of IHE Foundations exam set to 5 years
- Certificate
- Process document must be extended by such a chapter
- Describes the nature and layout of the certificate the applicants get, the method of shipping (who is shipping?, how? - download, post, ...), etc.
- Decision: A main chapter "Certifiate issuing process" will be added to the process document
- Action item: Create draft version of this chapter (Werner)
- Time critical: Must be final before first certificate is issued!
- Accredidatation of training providers
- Process document must be extended by such a chapter
- Urgently pending: Accreditation of FHTW, others are on the doorstep: ZTG
- Sharing of information between the exam provider and IHE and dissemination of passed exam takers
- e.g., what will be disseminated, where, etc.
- Process document must be extended by such a chapter
- Decision: Chapter "Accreditation of training provider process" will be added to process document
- Action item: Create draft version of this chapter (Werner)
- Medium time-critical, because training providers are asking to be accredited
- Accreditation fee
- Amount has to be determined
- Fee includes naming on ihe.net webpage in the list of accredited training providers
- Fee in the range of about 1500-2000 EUR for first 1 year accreditation
- It's usual that accreditations are renewed every year (for a cheaper price)
- Example training fees: FHTW online course 2300 EUR per person (now offered with 50% discount)
- Decision: Exact pricing will be decided after draft chapter is finished
- Re-certification process for Certified Professionals
- Discussion if the re-certification shall be a "lesser" exam for a cheaper price
- Not advised for certifications valid for 5 years or longer, unnecessary complexity compare to benefit
- Decision: There is no lesser exam and price for re-certification (people have to pass the exam again)
- Discussion, if re-certifying before current certificate expires shall maintain the "certified since ..." text on the certificate
- This could be an important incentive for people to re-certify before expiry
- Decision: Yes, this process shall be implemented
- Action time: Extend chapters in process document to describe that (e.g., chapter "Certification issuing process")
- This feature shall be marketed!
- Administrative processes between Exam Provider and the IHE International
- Contains content, which is now in the GASQ contract, such as Information Sharing, Reporting, Financial principle
- Decision: Chapter "Administrative processes between Exam Provider and the IHE International" will be added to process document
- Action item: Create draft version of this chapter (Jürgen, Charles)
- Still open issues
- Do we need a process of accrediting exam-centers (others providing exams)?
- Is IP properly covered in the process document?
- New draft version created in TCon: IHE_ICP_Processes_V00.17.docx

- Landing page on ihe.net, including logo (top-priority)
