The quality assurance system ensures that the content of the teacher training programs reflects society’s need for trained teaching professionals with extensive knowledge and practical skills in areas such as teaching techniques, curriculum design, lesson planning, classroom management and pedagogical innovation, and that the graduates’ choices of methods and approaches to teaching is effective and at par with international standards.
The quality assurance policy for teaching and training is expressed in the following objectives:
Evaluating quality in teacher education depends on the processes to
ensure quality and on meeting the learning outcomes of the courses.
Assuring the quality of learning is the primary objective of quality
assurance for an educational institution, and therefore the processes are
taken into consideration in the overall quality assurance policy.
The Academic team focuses on two vital elements - process quality and
learning experience.
Processes consider the quality of the training courses and ensure that they are run properly as per the set norms laid down by the Board of Academics as well as different accrediting and awarding bodies. Courses must be delivered in a structured and systematic manner assuring the quality of study materials and training process, with minimal gaps in the system. The trainers and tutors must also comply with the guidelines for achieving the targets set by the institution’s Board of Academics.
We provide training in different modes of learning – online (self-paced), live online and in-class. The Head – Academics oversees and monitors the curriculum, the learning process, the quality of teaching, professional development activities and makes an assessment of the available resources and how they contribute to the learning program in alignment with the institutional standards of quality.
Quality culture is the backbone of ACT supporting a set of shared values and working on the continuous improvements to be brought to the daily practices, thus leveraging the aspect of quality in the work we do and treating it as a collective responsibility for all employees of the institution.
Each individual must demonstrate in his or her own way a responsibility to deliver appropriately and make a positive contribution so that the courses meet the set standards at all times. The Board of Academics follows the institution’s values underpinning the high-quality training to be imparted with a clear focus on the training courses which comprise:
Quality assurance is planned according to the annual cycle for the internal and external audit.
The annual cycles involve external quality assurance requirements and internal quality assurance requirements adopted at academic level.
The annual cycle for the revision of curricula and course evaluations are conducted following the evaluation of student feedback
This policy relates to the assurance of all administrative support functions that are necessary for the smooth conduct of the courses and for the quality assurance of the learning infrastructure.
The guidelines and procedures are outlined to ensure that:
Aspects such as classrooms and the ICT-supported learning system are quality-assured by on-going evaluations that map the learning experience.

Asian College of Teachers (ACT) undertakes a continuous review of its teacher training courses to ensure imparting high quality education. However, there might be circumstances outside of ACT’s control which might affect its stakeholders like if you are planning to teach in a different country, applying for a teaching license, pursuing higher studies or trying to get the certificate approved by the Ministry of Education (MoE) of a particular country then you can do so with the certificate issued by Asian College of Teachers (ACT). However, each country’s Ministry of Education (MoE) or educational bodies set certain standards that are indispensable for the pursuit of higher studies or teaching in schools in that country. So it can be a possibility that you may be able to use the certificate for higher studies or teaching purposes in one country and not in another. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you investigate thoroughly and check with the relevant authorities regarding the acceptance of the certificate issued by us before you enrol on a particular course. ACT strives to offer high-quality education and its certificates can be valuable for various purposes internationally, but still it is crucial for individuals to verify the specific recognition of the certificate in the country they intend to use it, especially for formal education or professional licensing purposes. This approach ensures that the stakeholders make informed decisions regarding their educational and career paths.
