Selected faculty and staff of CPU attended the IQA training.

On October 11-12, 2022, thirty faculty and staff from different colleges and units in the university participated in the online training on Internal Quality Audit (IQA) conducted by the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC), the training arm of the Department of Trade and Industry.

This IQA training, based on ISO 9001:2015 standard, was exclusively designed by PTTC for Central Philippine University. Engr. Robert Jarquio, the resource person during the said training, divided the topics into three modules, namely Fundamentals of Internal Audit; Review of ISO 9001:2015 Standard (Audit trailing using the standard); and Phases of Audit. Participants were made to work in groups during the breakout sessions to do activities such as critiquing a quality management system (QMS) manual; conducting internal audit; and reporting results of an audit.

Aimed at capacitating the participants in conducting internal quality audit, this training made them more familiar with the different clauses within the ISO 9001:2015 standard.
