The Council
The Council
The Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational
Qualifications (HKCAAVQ) was formed under the HKCAAVQ
Ordinance (Cap 1150). In 2007 it assumed the statutory roles as the
Accreditation Authority and Qualifications Register Authority under the
Hong Kong Qualifications Framework under Cap 592.
HKCAAVQ provides accreditation services to post-secondary
education institutions and vocational education and training
institutions as well as course providers to perform its statutory duty.
Furthermore, we provide assessment services for the general public in
the form of qualifications assessments and advisory and consultancy
services in education qualifications and standards to government
bureaux and professional organisations in Hong Kong and outside of
Hong Kong subject to approval from the Secretary for Education.
The Council is composed of members appointed by the Chief
Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. As of 31
March 2015, the Council membership of 14 includes four non-local
members and 10 local members. Its local membership reflects
expertise and experience in quality assurance, education and training
as well as links with industry. The non-local members come primarily
from countries with well-established external quality assurance
systems. They provide valuable advice and global views, allowing
us to ensure that HKCAAVQ’s approaches are in line with the latest
international practices.
The Council meets formally twice a year. Local members meet twice
between full Council meetings.
The work of the Council is supported by three standing committees:
the Qualifications and Accreditation Committee, the Personnel
and Administration Committee, and the Finance Committee. Each
Committee has its own terms of reference, which are detailed in the
Appendix.
The Secretariat
The daily operation of HKCAAVQ is undertaken by the Secretariat
under the leadership of the Executive Director (ED) who is an
ex-officio member of the Council. Since October 2015 the ED has
been supported by two Deputy Executive Directors.
As of end of March 2015, HKCAAVQ Secretariat had 97 full-time
staff, most of whom are quality assurance practitioners, seasoned
trainers or education professionals. There are also two part-time staff
including one consultant who provides legal advice.
