The Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) is a statutory body established under the HKCAAVQ Ordinance (Chapter 1150) which came into effect on 1 October 2007. Effective from the same date, the HKCAAVQ has replaced the Hong Kong Council for Academic Accreditation (HKCAA).
The new HKCAAVQ is appointed by the Secretary for Education as the Accreditation Authority and QR Authority under the Qualifications Framework. In addition to these statutory roles, the HKCAAVQ continues to perform other functions of the former HKCAA in connection with academic and vocational accreditation, education and training and quality assurance.
