What is a QVC?
A Quality Verification Centre (QVC) is an elite status granted by the Malaysian Qualifications Agency (MQA) to trusted institutions like UTM. Our mission is to act as an independent gateway that audits, validates, and officially recognizes short courses known as Stand-Alone Micro-Credentials (SAMC).
Think of the QVC as the “Quality Seal” for modern education. We ensure that a short course isn’t just a certificate of attendance, but a rigorous academic achievement that holds real-world value.
The Three Pillars of a QVC
Formal Validation & Credit Assignment
Not all micro-credentials are created equal. The QVC evaluates the learning hours, complexity, and assessment methods of a course. We then assign it a formal MQF Level (from Certificate to Doctoral level) and determine its Credit Value, ensuring it meets national standards.

Why Does it Matter?
For Training Providers:
Unlike standard micro-credentials that are part of an accredited academic program, SAMCs are “stand-alone” – meaning they are not inherently part of an accredited program.
For Learners
They can be inspired by courses within accredited programs or entirely custom-designed to meet the specific needs of industries, employers, or individuals.
For Employers:
Even though they are independent, they can still be recognized for credits within accredited academic programs.
What are a Stand-Alone Micro-Credentials (SAMC)?
A digital certification that verifies a learner's assessed knowledge, skills, and competencies in a focused or narrow field. These credentials are designed to support a person’s professional, technical, academic, or personal development.
