> MESC > Accreditation 
The Manitoba Emergency Services College (MESC) is
accredited with the International Fire Service Accreditation Congress (IFSAC) to
the current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards. The MESC
received accreditation in 1994, was re-accredited in June, 2004. The MESC has
delegated our IFSAC accreditation to the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service for
their members. The MESC is also, in partnership with the Winnipeg Fire Paramedic
Service for accredited with the Canadian Medical Association (CMA).
Accreditation is a status granted to an
educational institution or program that has been found to meet or exceed
standard criteria of educational quality. Voluntary self-regulation is the
cornerstone on which the structure of accreditation has been built. While other
agencies, public and private sometimes use the term "accreditation"
historically, it refers to a voluntary activity in which institutions and
programs have agreed to be judged by their peers. The most effective form of
regulation comes from organizations that structure programs of peer review.
