Research plays an important role for HKCAAVQ to ensure that our
core business and consulting services are of high quality and meet
the expectations of our stakeholders. This requires that our existing
accreditation and service standards are not only robust, but also
‘future-proofed’ as far as possible. It is important that HKCAAVQ
acts proactively and proportionately in the highly dynamic education
and training environment and that our accreditation approach is
able to support sector-wide quality enhancement by encouraging
development of internal quality assurance capacity of operators.
Review of Accreditation Standards and
Criteria
Since the launch of the Four-stage Quality Assurance Process in
2008, many developments have taken place in the education and
training sector in Hong Kong, while international practice in quality
assurance and accreditation have also evolved significantly. To
ensure that the HKCAAVQ accreditation standards continue to be
contemporary, robust, and able to support innovation, HKCAAVQ
has found it timely to initiate a review (the Review) to consider
whether the accreditation standards and criteria in the different sets
of Guidelines and relevant Guidance Notes sufficiently address the
current and foreseeable developments of the sector, and reflect the
expectations of the Hong Kong society of operators and learning
programmes.
The Review started in late 2015. It is monitored by a Taskforce of
the Council, and it will be supported by research and analysis on
international practices, past accreditation experiences, and input
from stakeholders. Stakeholders’ views will be collected via an
Advisory Panel, focus group meetings and consultation seminars with
stakeholders, as well as the HKCAAVQ’s website. HKCAAVQ has
successfully obtained funding from the Qualifications Framework (QF)
Fund to support the Review.
The Review is expected to be completed in early 2018, and the
revised standards and criteria will be adopted for use from 2019.
Information on the progress of the Review can be found on a
dedicated webpage on the HKCAAVQ website.
