Monitoring
Monitoring is an external quality assurance (QA) process of evaluation and analysis of providers' QA activities, which supports public confidence in education and training. It is an external QA process that involves both routine and once-off evaluations, analyses, observations and recording of provider activities.
The QQI Policy on Monitoring was approved in December 2014 and outlines the overarching organisational approach that QQI will take to monitoring the qualifications and QA landscape.
Providers are ultimately responsible for the quality of their provision, the implementation and evaluation of their own QA procedures and on-going enhancement. To find out more about our approach to monitoring please click here.

Dialogue Meetings
As part of the external quality assurance framework in Ireland, QQI engages in dialogue meetings with individual universities, institutes of technology and Education and Training Boards. These meetings provide an opportunity for both QQI and the institution in question to consider a range of issues relating to the Irish QA infrastructure.
