To prepare for the launching of the Qualifications Framework in 2008, the Hong Kong Council for Academic Accreditation (HKCAA) was reorganized on 1 October 2007 to become the Hong Kong Council for Accreditation of Academic and Vocational Qualifications (HKCAAVQ). The new HKCAAVQ is appointed by the Secretary for Education as the Accreditation Authority and Qualifications Register (QR) Authority under the Qualifications Framework. The HKCAAVQ continues to perform the functions of the former HKCAA in connection with academic and vocational accreditation, education and training and quality assurance.
HKCAAVQ celebrated its establishment on 16 October 2007, hosting an inaugural ceremony officiated by Mr. Michael Suen, GBS, JP, the Secretary for Education.
