Quality Assurance Academy 2022

The Quality Assurance Academy (QAA) is a 14-week online training for quality assurance professionals in higher education. The QAA programme develops the participants’ skills in the areas of leadership (including self-leadership), operating quality management systems, communication, data management, and project management. It prepares participants to assume senior quality management posts in higher education institutions. Participants attend six live sessions allocated evenly across three block weeks. Each block week is preceded by preparatory tasks and followed by an assessment activity, both embedded in an intense mentoring scheme. The final assessment is a capstone project report that is double-graded and defended in front of the facilitators, mentors, and peers.
