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.Program quality accreditation aims to provide an overall picture of the evaluation of training programs, assess their adaptability to the current labor market, help universities achieve their goals, and evaluate whether current training programs meet the university's objectives. Through program quality accreditation programs, institutions can better fulfill their accountability to society regarding issues related to their affiliated training programs, ensuring a full two-way flow of information. According to the VNU's program quality accreditation standards, the program quality accreditation process comprises five steps: Before collecting evidence; Implementing evidence collection; Researching and analyzing 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.
