Activities of the Council
The Council meets twice a year, during 2-3 days, once in spring, before the annual meeting, and once in October-November. There is a complementary Executive meeting in February. These meetings are prepared by exchanges and work through mail.
The Committees are open for interested representatives of member organisations. The chairs of the committees are members of the Council and are responsible for the development of the different areas of interest. All the committees meet at the annual meeting and work by e-mail exchanges during the year.
FEPTO News: this newsletter is published two or three times a year. Each issue has 16-24 pages and is sent by post mail to the FEPTO founding members and the representatives of the accrediting and training institutes. It is a contact between members and Council. So a large part of the newsletter is organisational reports, announcements and questionnaires. In addition there are short articles, news from member activities and news from the international organisations. More > Newsletter
