European Wellness International Institute [EWII] is a professional body wholly owned by European Wellness Academy.  EWII is an organization which strives to recognize prior learning. Recently, forms of doctorate have emerged that are non-specific to professions or disciplines, and that are used by senior practitioners as vehicles for professional development and for addressing complex work or contribution issues.

These transdisciplinary, candidate-centered, research-and-development programs can collectively be referred to as work-based doctorates. Although stemming from more than one tradition, EWII evolved toward a set of common practices that reflect the transdisciplinary model of work-based learning used across the globe. Evidence is beginning to indicate that these doctorates have significant value in terms of organizational benefit and individual professional development. Although this objective and way of achieving it still occupy an ever evolving territory within the academic arena, it is capable of being conceptualized and implemented in a way that is intellectually rigorous and robust.

The European Wellness International Institute (EWII) recognizes that knowledge and skills can be attained from a broad range of learning. The Institute is therefore committed to ensuring that, where appropriate, knowledge and skills which are gained through work experience, life experience, continuous professional development (CPD) or previous qualifications can be given recognition through rigorous relevant andragogical and professional assessments.
