Our experts assess the quality of centres providing healthcare or social services. ACSA offers 17 certification programmes aimed at bodies in different fields and different levels of care, ensuring the methodological rigour, technical independence, impartiality and confidentiality of the information.
ACSA has been a pioneer in developing certification programmes for professionals working in health organisations. Through certification of their competencies by ACSA, health professionals from 79 different work areas are able to display their achievements in their professional performance, according to quality standards driven by the scientific evidence available and the consensus of experts in different specialities. ACSA accompanies professional along the path of analysis and improvement that leads to certification, ensuring methodological thoroughness, technical independence, impartiality and confidentiality.
The training received by health professionals is a key element for the development of an appropriate attention to the health of citizens. Quality healthcare requires quality training.
