Vocational Qualifications (the “Council”) is a body corporate
established under the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation
of Academic and Vocational Qualifications Ordinance. Under
the Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications
Ordinance (Cap. 592) (the “Ordinance”) the Council
assumes its statutory role as the Accreditation Authority and
Qualification Registry (“QR”) Authority under the Qualifications
Framework (“QF”). As the Accreditation Authority, the
Council is responsible for developing and implementing the
standards and mechanisms for accreditation of academic and
vocational qualifications to underpin the QF and for organising
the accreditation exercises for the purposes as specified
in the Ordinance. The Council also provides advice to the
Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
(the “HKSAR Government”) on the registration of non-local
academic and professional courses, the assessment on non-
local qualifications and also on educational standards and
qualifications generally. The Chairman, Vice Chairman, all other
Members and Executive Director of the Council are appointed
by the Chief Executive of the HKSAR Government. Also, the
determination of accreditation fees, the financial budget and
other operating policies of the Council are approved by the
HKSAR Government. Therefore the Council considers itself to
be a government-related entity.
The registered office address is 10 Siu Sai Wan Road, Chai
Wan, Hong Kong.
