In response to feedback from operators on the need for more
guidance during the accreditation process, HKCAAVQ has refined
the Facilitating Phase to help operators who are new to the Four-
stage Quality Assurance Process and to bring together information
about the track record of accredited operators to assist in
HKCAAVQ’s identification of accreditation focus(es). In addition, the
accreditation tools, such as Submission Forms, have been revised
with explanatory notes to help operators focus on providing the
essential documents as evidence of their implementation of their
quality assurance mechanism and programme information.
Consultancy Services
HKCAAVQ provides consultancy services to organisations and
government bureaux both in and outside Hong Kong. Key projects
undertaken by HKCAAVQ in the reporting period included a
pilot study on programme accreditation commissioned by the
Tertiary Education Services Office (GAES) of the Government of
Macao Special Administrative Region. The on-site visit for the pilot
accreditation exercise took place in December 2015 with a view to
refining the Macao Government’s relevant guidelines and process
for finalisation by 2016. We have also provided training workshops
commissioned by GAES and a higher education institution in Macao.
HKCAAVQ also completed phase 1 of a feasibility study of alignment/
recognition of professional qualifications under the HKQF. The study
was commissioned by the Education Bureau of the Government
of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The study outlined
potential ways to align and/or recognise professional qualifications
under the HKQF, making reference to international practices and
taking into account unique local contexts.
因應營辦者在意見調查中提出在評審過
程中需要獲得更多指導，就此，評審局
已優化「輔助期」，以協助新申請評審的
課程營辦者；又彙集過往的評審紀錄，
為已通過評審的課程營辦者訂立評審焦
點。此外，評審工具之一的「評審文件
提交表格」亦已作出適當修訂並加入附
註解釋，從而協助個別營辦者能提交主
要及適當的文件來引證其質素保證機制
的推行及其課程資料。
