Oman Authority for Academic Accreditation and Quality Assurance of Education (OAAAQA) has now completed an Institutional Standards Assessment (ISA) of Sultan Qaboos Academy for police sciences (SQAPS).
SQAPS submitted the ISA Application on 27 December 2023 and a Panel was formed to undertake the ISA process. The Panel comprised of experienced locally-based and international reviewers. During the Visit, which took place between 21-25 April 2024 at SQAPS’s premises (with the exception of ‘Day Zero’, a day of Panel discussions before the interviews at the Academy commenced), the Panel spoke with over 93 people, including representatives of the governing authorities, staff, students and external stakeholders. The Panel also reviewed a range of additional evidence and supporting materials.
The OAAAQA Board endorsed the resulting ISA Report on 3 December 2024 and the Academy has received a copy of that report. This report will not be made publicly available but will be circulated as a confidential document to OAAAQA Board Members.
The SQAPS ISA resulted in an Accreditation Outcome of ‘Accredited’. SQAPS now joins the ranks of other HEIs already accredited by OAAAQA. You can find all accredited institutions on OAAAQA website: www.oaaaqa.gov.om.
