Expression of Interest
The quality assurance agency (QAA) should submit an expression of interest (EOI) to the APQN Secretariat requesting an external review against the APQR Criteria, incorporating the Chiba Principles as well as INQAAHE Guidelines of Good Practice. The QAA must provide initial evidence that it is eligible for the review by stating its motivation for the review and documenting its membership of APQN or other evidence of meeting the first of the review criteria. The QAA must have operated for at least 2 years before a review can be undertaken.
An EOI can be submitted at any time during the year. Following a preliminary review by the APQR Secretary, and if found complete and appropriate, the application is forwarded to the APQR Council.
The EOI should consist of the following items, as shown in the template that follows:
- Name of the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA)
- Contact details
- Basic Information about the QAA
- Motivation for Seeking a Review
