Why has APAC sent a site visit team to my higher education provider when my course is already accredited?
There are a number of reasons why an APAC assessment team may be conducting a site visit at your higher education provider. The first is that your institution is approaching the end of its current five year accreditation cycle and is due for re-assessment. A second reason is that your institution may have made significant changes to its accredited programs or to other aspects of its structure or functioning which require examination by APAC to ensure that APAC Standards are still being met. A third reason could be that your institution has been randomly selected by APAC for an audit. Finally, APAC may be in possession of credible information that Standards are not being met and has as a result has commenced an audit of your institution and the related courses to check that Standards are being upheld.
