Training on Quality Assurance of Training Programs

On the morning of March 16, 2011, faculty members from the International Studies, Archival Studies, and Office Administration departments participated in a training session on program quality accreditation under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ngo Doan Dai (Institute for Quality Assurance - VNU Hanoi). Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Kim Son – Vice Rector of the university – was also in attendance.The accreditation of training programs aims to provide an overall picture of the evaluation of training programs, assess the adaptability of training programs to the current labor market, help schools achieve their goals, and evaluate whether current training programs meet the school's objectives. Thanks to quality accreditation programs, the institution will better fulfill its accountability to society regarding issues related to its affiliated training programs, ensuring full two-way information flow. According to the VNU's standards for quality accreditation of training programs, the quality accreditation process includes five steps: Before collecting evidence; Implementing evidence collection; Research and analysis of evidence; Writing self-assessment reports; and Summarizing self-assessment results. According to Associate Professor Ngo Doan Dai, the purpose of quality accreditation of training programs is not for reporting purposes but to clearly see the actual situation of the training unit, in order to improve and further enhance the quality of the training system.
