Apart from awarding institutions, we continued to devote financial and manpower resources to engage national resource centres to authenticate qualifications and hence fake qualifications were detected. During the reporting period, we identified 22 cases of fake qualifications which were reported to the Hong Kong Police for reference and necessary follow-up. Reasons for Non-assessable Qualifications Assessment Although the number of qualifications assessed and considered by our QA Service as meeting the standard of comparable qualifications under HKQF is high, a significant volume of applications contained qualifications that were not assessable by our QA Service. In the reporting period, a total of 655 applications were deemed as non-assessable by our QA Service due to (a) the qualifications not being recognised in the home countries/areas; (b) the qualifications were fake; (c) the applicants were not able to provide sufficient information; and (d) the applicants voluntarily decided to withdraw their applications. Major Developments The QA i-Portal is the default web-platform for applicants to submit their applications and make payment online as well as for our QA Service to provide an update on the progress of their applications. Applicants tend to make use of the QA i-Portal to handle their applications thus allowing the QA Service to better serve our applicants/stakeholders. The continual integration and improvements of the QA i-Portal and HKCAAVQ’s Quality Management System (QMS) have greatly enhanced our service effectiveness and efficiency. Future Initiatives HKCAAVQ’s Country/Area Profiles (CAPs) provide comprehensive information on the eight main countries/ areas with which qualifications assessments are primarily conducted, including Australia, Canada, Mainland China, New Zealand, South Africa, Taiwan (China), the United Kingdom and the United States of America. The CAPs have greatly enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of our work in quality assurance; and we will continue to update the CAPs as well as other assessment guidelines to ensure they provide the most up-to-date and relevant information to both our assessors and stakeholders. The QA Service is further looking into ways in leveraging technology to better serve our applicants, including the dissemination of assessment results in a secure and speedier manner.
