The TVET Quality Council (TVET-QC) of the Bhutan Qualifications and Professionals Certification Authority (BQPCA) successfully conducted a Workshop on TVET Delivery and Quality Assurance for training providers on May 15 in Thimphu. The workshop was attended by 60 registered training providers based in Thimphu and served as an important platform to strengthen the understanding of quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and effective delivery of TVET programmes in alignment with national policies, regulations, and quality standards.
The workshop also provided an opportunity for training providers to share experiences, discuss common operational and regulatory challenges, and explore strategies to enhance the quality, relevance, credibility, and effectiveness of TVET programmes in the country.
Key sessions covered important thematic areas including an overview of the National Education Policy with specific focus on TVET reforms and priorities, Quality Management Systems (QMS) in TVET institutions, the National TVET Quality Standards, and the TVET Quality and Qualifications Regulations 2026.
Discussions were also held on regulatory compliance requirements, institutional governance and management systems, trainer and infrastructure standards, use of the TVET Management Information System (TVET-MIS), industry linkages, and effective programme delivery practices.
In addition, participants undertook SWOT analysis and institutional action-planning exercises to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, challenges, and priority areas for continuous improvement within their respective institutes.
Considering the positive engagement and valuable outcomes of the workshop, the TVET QC will continue to organise such engagements annually to strengthen the culture of quality, promote continuous institutional improvement, and support training providers in enhancing the credibility, quality, and labour market relevance of TVET programmes in Bhutan.
