Framework

Self-Certification

National Center for Professional Education Quality Assurance (ANQA)

Initially the accreditation process in Armenia was launched in 2000 by the Ministry of Education and Science and included only private higher educational institutions. The Licensing and Accreditation Department was established within the Ministry for this purpose.

In order to provide educational activities HEIs are required to be licensed by the Ministry of Education and Science. In order to be recognized the accreditation is obligatory for all HEIs.

In 2008 the Armenian Government established the National Quality Assurance Agency – ANQA according to the European Standards and Guidelines which is currently responsible for the accreditation process. Now all the HEIs are required to go through the accreditation procedure in order to be recognized.

Both institutional (compulsory) and program (voluntary) accreditation procedures exist.
