On October 23-24, 2024, the HQ SACT Quality Assurance Team of Experts (QA ToE), led by MAJ Radu BALANESCU, conducted an on-site visit at the NATO Security Policing Centre of Excellence (NSP COE) in Vicenza, Italy. During the evaluation, the institution was assessed against 31 NATO Quality Standards, showcasing a strong commitment to continuous improvement. This was supported by a robust Quality Management System (QMS), which plays a critical role in enhancing the quality of the education and individual training provided to NATO Members and Partners.
The NSP COE offered exceptional support throughout the visit, with its leadership and staff actively engaged during the two-day audit of the organization. The initial feedback was highly positive, with several best practices being noted. This visit reinforced the essential role of NATO’s Quality Assurance in Education and Individual Training (E&IT) in ensuring excellence for students and advancing NATO’s overall interoperability from the training perspective.
As a result, the NSP COE will be recommended for UNCONDITIONAL ACCREDITATION for the next six years.
