At its beginning, the workshop included an introduction to a number of concepts such as quality, recognition, accreditation, its benefits and types. The workshop outlined the steps that must be followed to obtain accreditation, which include: writing a self-evaluation report, then an improvement plan and a conformity report, followed by reviewing the conformity report and then visiting experts in order to begin the accreditation procedures. The workshop indicated that the self-evaluation report is intended to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the institution. During the workshop, some national institutional accreditation standards for higher education institutions in Iraq were clarified, especially the first standard, “Educational Institution Strategy,” and the second standard, “Governance and Administration.” At the end of the workshop, the workshop included answering the participants’ inquiries and distributing certificates of participation to the attendees.
