HKCAAVQ provides an extensive range of academic accreditation
services, including accreditation of programmes offered by post-
secondary institutions at postgraduate, degree and sub-degree
levels, and non-local learning programmes (NLP) registered or
exempted from registration under the Non-local Higher and
Professional Courses (Regulation) Ordinance (Cap 493). We also
conduct Institutional Reviews (IR) for institutions seeking registration
under the Post Secondary Colleges Ordinance (Cap 320) for degree-
awarding status.
Local Programme Accreditation
In 2015/16, HKCAAVQ conducted an Initial Evaluation (IE) at
HKQF Level 6 for an institution preparing to offer Master Degree
programmes, Learning Programme Accreditation (LPA) for a total
of 17 programmes and Learning Programme Re-accreditation (re-
LPA) for 15 programmes, with the participation of 11 operators.
The number of programmes accredited or re-accredited remained
constant compared to 2014/15. While the traditional programmes
like Business Administration, Psychology, Languages, Arts and
Engineering remained popular, we also conducted accreditations of
emerging programme areas such as Early Childhood Education and
Sports Coaching at HKQF Level 5. We also processed requests from
11 operators for substantial changes to 43 programmes. The number
of requests is similar to the previous reporting period.
Furthermore, we conducted an IR exercise for an institution seeking
registration for degree-awarding status.
