As a result of the evaluations carried out by MEDEK (Vocational Education Evaluation and Accreditation Association), which also include quality improvement processes in vocational education, Altınova Vocational School, Department of Machine and Metal Technologies, Welding Technology Program was entitled to receive full 4 (four) year accreditation between 01.01.2026 / 31.12.2029.
A field visit was made to our Vocational School in November by the Evaluation Teams assigned by the Vocational Education Evaluation and Accreditation Association (MEDEK), which was established with the aim of increasing and sustaining the quality in vocational schools in Turkey, within the scope of unit accreditation studies.
In this context, MEDEK members authorized by the Council of Higher Education Quality (YÖKAK) for the accreditation of Vocational School programs had completed the process of evaluating the conformity of the Welding Technology program, one of our Vocational School programs, to specified standards, quality criteria, and performance measures.
As a result of more than 1 year of regular work, our program in the accreditation process has been accredited as a result of examinations and evaluations about our institutional infrastructure, academic and training processes.
