HEQC Accreditation (continued)
Accreditation is the recognition status given for a
stipulated period of time by the HEQC to a
programme after an evaluation indicates that it
meets or exceeds a minimum threshold of
educational quality
Other ETQAs
"The HEQC, although accredited by… SAQA as the
Band ETQA for… HE, has to operate alongside
other… ETQAs in Higher Education. SAQA has
recognised the coordinating role of the HEQC in this
regard, and the HEQC itself has indicated its
willingness to engage in co-operation agreements
with other ETQAs in a search for coherence, lack of
duplication and a tolerable accountability regime for
higher education institutions…
In keeping with the SAQA requirement of one
provider: one ETQA, the HEQC will enter into
agreements with professional councils and SETA
ETQAs in order to co-ordinate quality assurance
activities"
