Guidelines on the Four-stage Quality
Assurance Process
Since 2013, 11 refinements to the Four-stage Quality Assurance (QA)
Process have progressively been implemented after a comprehensive
review of the guidelines conducted in consultation with stakeholders.
In response to the refinements, the
Guidelines on the Four-stage
Quality Assurance Process
(Guidelines) were revised and published
on HKCAAVQ website in August 2014.
Based on the revised Guidelines, HKCAAVQ made corresponding
refinements to the guidance notes on IE, LPA and re-LPA for local
programmes. The refined guidance notes also incorporate recent
government initiatives including graduate profile, CAT and QF credits;
They also include the requirements for degree-granting institutions
seeking accreditation of postgraduate degree programmes at QF
levels 6 and 7.
In January 2015, we organised a focus group meeting with operators
to share our proposed revisions to the refined guidance notes.
Following the feedback collected in the focus group meeting, the
refined guidance notes were published on our website in March 2015.
