The Pacific Quality Assurance Framework (PQAF) is the response to the Pacific region's need for a ‘quality assurance framework'. The PQAF addresses quality standards for accrediting agencies, all forms of education and training institutions (such as technical and vocational, tertiary and non-tertiary, and field-specific forms, such as theological education and maritime training), programmes, and units of learning or programme components. The standards are further explained through guidelines and broken down into outcomes, on the basis of which applications will be evaluated and decisions on the outcomes of applications will be made.
