NQA therefore complies, just as much as every study program must comply with the ESG (European Standard Guidelines, as the only evaluation agency with a home base in higher vocational education at the ESG. The review panel's opinion is:

“NQA is regarded as a competent organization that is managed efficiently and effectively. This includes aspects such as management of processes and panels, the running of schedules and the timely delivery of reports. NQA also enjoys good levels of satisfaction among external stakeholders (institutions, reviewers, NVAO, inspectorate) and internal ones (staff).

This should be particularly noted given the challenging context in which it operates, with strong competition between agencies and limited leverage in the overall operating framework for quality assurance'.
