ESCA Ecole de Management receives Association of MBAs (AMBA) accreditation
ESCA Ecole de Management has officially received accreditation from the Association of MBAs (AMBA), one of the world’s leading authorities in post-graduate business education, demonstrating its continuing commitment to excellence in management education.
Upon receiving AMBA accreditation, all current MBM and recent MBM alumni of ESCA Ecole de Management are invited to be part of AMBA’s global member community of more than 60,000 students and alumni in more than 150 countries on a free basis, for networking, thought leadership, career development, and a variety of benefits.
Accreditation from AMBA represents the highest standard of achievement in post-graduate business education. Its rigorous assessment criteria ensure that only the highest-calibre programmes which demonstrate the best standards in teaching, curriculum, and student interaction achieve AMBA accreditation.
ESCA Ecole de Management is primarily based in Casablanca, Morocco and upholds the aim to educate managers who foster innovation, internationalisation, and sustainability in companies within Africa.
During the accreditation process conducted by AMBA, members of the accreditation panel, representing senior management from global business schools, commended the school’s leadership team for being impressive in its commitment, transparency, and dedication to ESCA’s mission and future success. The panel also noted the exceptional gender balance in the management team and amongst MBM students.
Finally, the panel mentioned the COIL initiative at the school for its innovative use of new technology to enhance the international learning experience for students.
"Obtaining the AMBA accreditation confirms the quality and academic maturity of our Grande Ecole Program Master. It recognizes our ambition to offer an education of excellence, rooted in African realities and resolutely oriented towards the international scene. This new international accreditation strengthens ESCA’s recognition as a leading academic institution in Africa and beyond, and reaffirms its commitment to developing responsible, innovative, and globally minded leaders." Thami Ghorfi, President of ESCA
AMBA accreditation is international in scope and reach, and AMBA works under the belief that accredited programmes should be of the highest standard and consider changing trends and innovation in post-graduate management education. Its accreditation process reflects this commitment to fostering innovation, and demanding business schools to perform at the highest level continually.
Andrew Main Wilson, Chief Executive of the Association of MBAs and Business Graduates Association (BGA) said: “I am delighted that ESCA Ecole de Management has received accreditation from AMBA. The school offers a fantastic MBM programme, with impressive learning facilities. I look forward to working with this school and supporting them with their mission.”
