The Asia-Pacific Quality Register (APQR)

The Asia-Pacific Quality Register (APQR) is a register of external quality assurance agencies (QAAs) that demonstrated certain thresholds of maturity. The Asia Pacific Quality Network (APQN) has endorsed a proposal for the establishment of the Register as part of its Decennial agenda in 2012. An independent external review by peers is the backbone of the APQR.

Purpose of APQR

• Provide an inspirational target and serve as a quality hallmark and qualification to accredit HEIs/programs;

• Provide a basis for mutual recognition of cross?border operations of QAAs and HEIs;

• Offer a reference to global stakeholders on trustworthy external QAAs in in the Asia-Pacific Region.

The QAAs who have been registered and accepted onto APQR by the on-site review panel can accredit international HEIs/programs in guidance/cooperation along with APQN.
