Quality Assurance

The issue of quality is central to the operations of educational institutions at all levels today. B&B is under the jurisdiction of the University Council of Jamaica, the public regulatory body that is charged with assessing and approving tertiary institutions who wish to operate in Jamaica. The UCJ monitors issues of quality in institutions and courses, and grants accreditation certificates for a specified period based on their findings.

Within B&B, quality is the direct responsibility of an Academic Manager who is charged with setting, monitoring and reporting on standards related to course content and delivery. These standards cover issues such as contact hours, qualifications and experience of lecturers, reference material, tuition methods and student support services. Assessment against these standards is done once per year, or more often as the needs dictate. Feedback on quality is also measured by the administration of a student satisfaction questionnaire at least twice per year to students. The responses obtained are analyzed and reported on, with changes effected as a direct result of the feedback received.

The various institutions with whom we maintain links also carry out Quality Assurance examinations on the delivery of their programmes.
