Audit of Internal Systems of Quality Assurance
A3ES audited the internal systems of quality assurance of higher education institutions for the purpose of certification.
This was a voluntary process which, in 2022, in the second cycle of institutional assessment, A3ES integrated into the assessment of higher education institutions. Since then, it has not carried out an autonomous audit process or awarded certification to institutions’ internal quality assurance systems.
See here the references, guidelines and documents for this audit process, as well as its results.
