Crossfields Europa
Quality assurance, evaluation and certification - with rigour and humanity.
Since 2008, Crossfields has been designing, delivering, evaluating and quality-assuring a wide range of international education programmes and courses, from small embedded courses to larger professional programmes
Our educational programmes bridge learning with life and practice. Our aim is to deepen students’ engagement with their professions through reflective, experiential and interconnected learning experiences.
We design innovative and creative systems and conduct evaluations that promote clarity, transparency and educational rigour.
We offer to evaluate educational programmes against the European Qualifications Framework, which describe the knowledge, skills, and competencies expected of learners, students and professional practitioners. Our methodology is informed by the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG), the primary reference framework for quality assurance across European higher education.
Evaluations are conducted by experienced reviewers with expertise in both the subject field and quality assurance methodology.
We work with transparency, rigour, and respect for the diversity of professional training traditions across Europe. Our aim is not to standardise, but to recognise - and to make that recognition credible, practical, and meaningful.
Actively developing Quality standards for mental health and wellbeing
Today Crossfields Europa is the appointed external quality assurance and certification body for all member organisations under the Danish Association of Psychotherapists (DPFO).
This means
We are responsible for evaluating and certifying psychotherapy institutes in Denmark against shared, published quality standards co-developed with the Danish Association of Psychotherapists (DPFO)
Certification is part of ensuring high professional standards and supporting the ongoing quality development of the programmes, referenced to national and European quality frameworks..
We are supporting a vibrant, rigorous and practice-led research culture for psychotherapy students and professionals in Denmark and Europe by quality assuring education that prepares learners for an ongoing inquiry into practitioner-led research.
Crossfields Europa's EQF assessment of psychotherapy programmes is subject to ongoing external scrutiny and quality assurance by CFI Awarding, an Ofqual-recognised awarding organisation in England. Crossfields Europa and CFI Awarding are legally separate organisations that share a common heritage, and CFI Awarding's scrutiny of the assessment process is exercised at arm's length.

Forskning i egen praksis
Indføring for praktikere
Redigeret af Søren Willert, Inge Nygaard Pedersen & Charlotte von Bülow.
Forskning i egen praksis et kald til praktikere i de psykosociale professioner – psykoterapeuter, andre terapeuter, pædagoger, lærere, socialarbejdere og konsulenter – som ønsker at løfte blikket fra det velkendte og undersøge deres praksis med fornyet opmærksomhed og nysgerrighed.
Bogen viser, hvordan du som professionel kan bruge din praksis som udgangspunkt for undersøgelse, refleksion og udvikling – uden at forlade din faglige identitet, hvordan vi omsætter det arbejde, vi allerede står midt i, til ny viden, og hvordan hverdagens erfaringer bliver til faglige erkendelser, der kan deles og udvikles i fællesskab.
Bogen forbinder det erfaringsnære med det metodiske og det personlige med det analytiske, så du som praktiker kan tage skridtet ind i forskerrollen – uden at skulle være en anden end den, du allerede er.
”FORSKNING I EGEN PRAKSIS er en vigtig og modig bog, som bygger bro mellem det akademiske og det praksisnære. Den tilbyder et sprog og en struktur til professionelle, der ønsker at udforske deres eget arbejde med samme nysgerrighed og stringens, som de møder deres klienter med. Bogen er et værdifuldt bidrag til psykoterapeuter og andre fagpersoner, der ønsker at blive klogere på både deres fag og sig selv.”

Social impact on a global scale since 2008 …
“I would like to thank the Crossfields team for the help you gave us in establishing the Integrated Learning for Living and Work Programme in Botswana from 2010 onwards. The programme won the 2019 UNESCO-Japan Prize on Education for Sustainable Development – without your help this could not even have been a possibility.”
