The Faculty of Tourism and Hotels Holds a Preparatory Meeting to Obtain National Accreditation for its Academic Programs

The administration of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels held a meeting attended by Ms. Sawsan Al-Radaideh from the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Center, in preparation for submitting the Faculty's academic programs for local Jordanian accreditation from the Higher Education Accreditation Commission of Jordan.

Professor Akram Rawashdeh, Dean of the Faculty of Tourism and Hotels, welcomed the attendees and highlighted the importance of obtaining local Jordanian accreditation. He outlined the Faculty's intention to seek accreditation for its academic programs—including Hotel Management, Tourist Guidance, Tourism Management, and the Master's Program in Tourism—for the year 2025. This step comes as part of the Faculty’s strategic plan and its corresponding implementation framework for 2025. It is noteworthy that the Tourism Management program has already earned the international TedQual quality certification in tourism education from the World Tourism Organization.

Ms. Sawsan Al-Radaideh from the Accreditation and Quality Assurance Center presented the guidelines and procedures for obtaining local Jordanian accreditation, emphasizing the conditions that must be met—particularly the requirement for programs to be classified within the National Qualifications Framework. She explained the significance of this accreditation in enhancing the academic reputation of the programs and improving the quality of education offered.

At the end of the meeting—which was attended by all members of the Faculty’s administrative team, including the Vice Dean, Heads of Departments, Assistant Dean, and the Chief Administrator—a comprehensive discussion took place regarding the necessary steps to be followed and the responsibilities of each participant in the accreditation process.
