Costa Rica Accreditation Council of Engineering and Architecture

CFIA strives to provide accreditation services for engineering and architecture programs that meet the needs and expectations of higher education institutions based on internationally recognized best practices, the principles and values ​​of CFIA and a continuous commitment to improvement. Accreditation is carried out by CFIA's Agencia de Acreditación de Programas de Ingeniería y de Arquitectura (AAPIA). Accreditation is a voluntary assessment process, which seeks to determine if a training program in engineering or architecture meets the established standards of quality. For this purpose, an accreditation model with criteria and procedures that follows best practices established by the Washington Accord is used.
