Quality Infrastructure event preparation

Thank you for registering for the three-day training on Quality Infrastructure in a Changing World. We look forward to having you in Frankfurt from 30 September to 2 October.

Here are a few preparation links for you to do before the event:

The Quality Infrastructure in a Changing World event is not an entry-level QI training. Please familiarise yourself with the topic of QI by completing the following free online QI course before the training event.

The PTB Quality Infrastructure for Sustainable Development (QuISP) blended training course is available on the GIZ Atingi e-learning platform. It is called "Quality Infrastructure - An Introduction" and is divided into the modules "QI Basics", "The Elements of QI", and "Organizing an Effective QI". After registering with Atingi, each learner can participate in this course at their own pace and receive a certificate upon successful completion. If you are already registered on Atingi, you can access the course directly via this link.

Here are the steps to register for the course:

1. create a profile at Atingi (at https://www.atingi.org. Access is free of charge)
2. find the course in the catalogue (it is called "Quality Infrastructure - An Introduction" and can be found, for example, in the category "Entrepreneurship" or "Governance")
3. possibly enrol (self-enrolment, i.e. you can do this yourself at the touch of a button). The course is then available to you.
