The collective leadership and staff of the Faculty of Tourism Studies attended the training session.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Thi Minh Hoa said: "The Faculty of Tourism Studies is one of the three faculties of the University (Faculty of Linguistics, Faculty of Tourism Studies and Faculty of History) that has pioneered in assessing the quality of training programs - the Faculty has conducted an assessment of the training program in Tourism Studies in 2009. We are currently implementing peer assessment of the quality of training programs according to AUN standards. This training session is orienting, solving the most basic problems of report writing. After that, there will be more training sessions implemented by the University's Training Quality Assurance Center, working directly with the Faculties."

Dr. Tran Thi Hoai (Deputy Director of the Institute of Quality Assurance in Education - VNU) shared: "In the past 2 years, partners have always asked the schools in particular and VNU in general: has the training program or training institution conducted quality assessment? If we do not make efforts to conduct assessment, we will probably fall behind in the domestic educational context, not to mention cooperation or reaching out to the region and the world."

The leaders and staff of the Faculty of Tourism Studies enthusiastically and frankly discussed the remaining issues in the process of writing the report. In the training program of the Tourism and Travel Services Management major, the lecturers of the Faculty of Tourism Studies highlighted strengths such as: high integration - access to many international training programs; meeting social needs; pioneering, opening up many new trends in the field of human resource training in the tourism industry; good inter-disciplinary and inter-industry connectivity; quality practice facilities; high knowledge synthesis capacity - graduates are able to meet the requirements of many professional fields... In addition, questions about how to collect evidence, types of evidence, time of presentation on evidence... were also consulted and shared with the Faculty of Tourism Studies by experts. In addition, updating training programs on the School and Faculty websites and other forms of widespread promotion also need to be ensured.
