International
The AAQ has an international network. It works with foreign agencies and institutions, making an active contribution to the development of a culture of quality in the European higher education sector. Its international outlook ensures that European standards are adhered to and that best practices from throughout Europe are applied.
The AAQ meets the requirements of the "European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the Higher Education Area (ESG)". It is a member of ENQA (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education) and INQAHEE, and is EQAR-listed. EQAR is an international register of agencies which are noted for consistently implementing the ESG. In addition, the AAQ is a member of the Quality Audit Network (QAN) and co-founder of the "Réseau FrAQ-Sup", a network of French-speaking agencies.
The AAQ is approved by the German Accreditation Council to conduct system and programme accreditation procedures in Germany.
The AAQ's procedures comply with the standards of the ENAEE and it is thus entitled to award the EUR-ACE label to engineering courses.
