ASCAL conducts a training session on quality assurance and accreditation at the University of Medicine, Tirana
As part of the ongoing external evaluation processes for the accreditation of study programmes, the Albanian Agency for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ASCAL) delivered a dedicated training session at the University of Medicine, Tirana, for the Internal Evaluation Group (IEG) and members of the Internal Quality Assurance Unit (IQAU). The training aimed to enhance professional capacities and strengthen the institutional culture of quality assurance.
The training focused on the roles and responsibilities of the IEG and IQAU in the accreditation process, highlighting the main challenges faced by higher education institutions throughout this process. Particular attention was given to the interpretation of quality standards, the collection and preparation of supporting documentation, and the importance of ensuring consistency between official institutional documentation and actual institutional practice.
This training reflects ASCAL’s and higher education institutions’ commitment to continuous quality enhancement, recognising the preparation of key stakeholders in the process, namely the IEG and IQAU, as an essential element in the sustainable development of higher education.
