The program was organized to conduct orientation on APACC Accreditation, its functions and benefits, and the 2019 version of the APACC Self Study Form. It was also intended to provide consultancy to Region II TTIs on preparing documents and preparing for on-site visits, in general.

The two-day activity was a productive engagement since it enabled the institutions to assess the level of their preparedness and readiness to undergo APACC accreditation, and also draft a program plan or action plan based on the gaps. The gaps identified during the program were used as inputs to further enhance the monitoring and evaluation component in the quality management system.
The participants expressed their appreciation to the assistance of APACC and CPSC in conducting the awareness exercise and workshop.
