Principles of cost estimation for education quality accreditation
Costs for inspection activities include 3 basic costs corresponding to 3 stages: Appraisal of self-assessment reports, External assessment and Accreditation. Principles for estimating the cost of education quality accreditation at the educational establishment level and training program level are as follows. For specific cost data, suitable for your school’s actual situation, please contact the Accreditation Center.
Cost of Appraisal of Self-Assessment Report (Gđg)
Gtđ = D x Ntđ x Ktr + Gqltđ
In there:
- D: Workday remuneration norms
- Ntđ: Number of working days to evaluate the Self-Assessment Report
- Ktr: Coefficient according to the number of pages of the Self-Assessment Report, equal to 1 (up to 100 pages), + 0.02 (for each additional 10 pages)
- Gqltđ: Cost of managing the appraisal process
External Evaluation Costs (Gđg)
Gđg = D x Nđgn x Kqm x Kkc x Kcs + Gctpđg + Gqlđg
In there:
- D: Workday remuneration norms
- Nđgn: Number of working days for the external assessment process
- Kqm : Training scale coefficient (according to the number of converted students)
- Kkc: Distance coefficient (according to the distance between the survey location and the Inspection Center)
- Kcs: Facility coefficient (according to number of establishments and branches)
- Gctpđg:Working expenses of the external assessment team (travel, meals, accommodation)
- Gqlđg: Cost of managing the external assessment process
Recognition Costs
(Gcn)
Gcn = D x Ncn + Gctpcn + Gqlcn
In there
- D: Workday remuneration norms
- Ncn: Number of work days for the council meeting process
- Gctpcn: Business trip fee for awarding certificate (if any)
- Gqlcn: Cost of managing the accreditation process
