Non-local Programme Accreditation
HKCAAVQ has been accrediting Non-local Programmes (NLP)
registered or exempted under the Non-local Higher and Professional
Education (Regulation) Ordinance (Cap 493) since 2009. The NLP
accreditation service quality assures programmes offered in Hong
Kong leading to awards of non-local institutions. An NLP accredited
by HKCAAVQ enjoys similar status to locally-accredited programmes,
and its qualification can be recognised under the Hong Kong
Qualifications Framework (QF) and placed on the Qualifications
Register (QR).
During the reporting year, HKCAAVQ conducted IE for two
partnerships, LPA for a total of 14 NLPs and re-LPA for 20 NLPs,
with the participation of six local operators and 15 overseas partners.
As the first batch of NLPs was due for re-accreditation, there was
a significant increase in the number of re-LPAs compared to last
year. In addition, we processed requests for substantial changes
to 20 programmes involving five local operators and nine overseas
partners, compared to 27 programmes involving three local operators
and eight overseas partners a year ago.
非本地課程評審
評審局自
2009
年起為根據《非本地高等
及專業教育（規管）條例》（第
493
章）註冊
或獲豁免註冊的非本地課程提供評審服
務。非本地課程評審為保證在香港營辦
的非本地課程質素。與本地認可課程一
樣，通過評審的非本地課程，其資歷獲
資歷架構認可，並可載列於資歷名冊。
在報告期內，評審局為六個本地營辦者
及
15
個海外營辦者完成了兩項初步評
估、
14
個非本地課程的評審及
20
個非
本地課程的覆審。由於首批通過評審的
非本地課程到期進行覆審，因此本年度
的課程覆審數目較去年大幅增加。此
外，評審局亦評核了由五個本地營辦者
和九個海外營辦者就
20
個非本地課程作
出重大修改的申請；數目較去年由三個
本地營辦者和八個海外營辦者就
27
個非
本地課程的重大修改略為減少。
