As part of the ongoing external evaluation processes for the accreditation of study programs, ASCAL conducted a dedicated training session at the University of Medicine, Tirana, for members of the Internal Evaluation Group (IEG) and the Internal Quality Assurance Unit (IQA Unit). The purpose of the training was to strengthen professional capacities and further consolidate the institutional culture of quality assurance.
The session focused on clarifying the roles and responsibilities of the IEG and the IQA Unit within the accreditation framework, while addressing the principal challenges encountered by higher education institutions during the process. Particular emphasis was placed on the interpretation of quality standards, the systematic collection and preparation of supporting documentation, and the necessity of ensuring alignment between formal documentation and actual institutional practice.
This initiative reflects the joint commitment of ASCAL and higher education institutions to continuous quality enhancement, recognizing the effective preparation of key stakeholders, namely the IEG and the IQA Unit, as a fundamental component of the sustainable development of higher education.
