WA, GHANA – Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD-UBIDS), through its Directorate of Academic Planning and Quality Assurance (DAPQA), has collaborated with the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to train academic leaders on the new Accreditation Management Information System (AMIS).
The one-day workshop, held on September 1, 2025, provided Heads of Department, Directorate of Academic Affairs, and Directorate of Information Management Services staff with hands-on training for processing programme accreditation electronically. This initiative is designed to enhance efficiency, ensure transparency, and maintain full compliance with national higher education standards.
Representing the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Emmanuel Kanchebe Derbile, Professor Kenneth Peprah, Director of DAPQA, framed the training as essential for the Uuniversity’s future. He noted, “This timely training does more than just ensure compliance with GTEC; it empowers our academic leaders and reaffirms UBIDS’s commitment to leading in quality assurance through digital innovation.”
The workshop was facilitated by GTEC experts; Mr. Benjamin Hackman, Head of the Department of Management Information Systems, and Mr. Hussein Alhassan, Software Engineer. They provided a comprehensive overview of the AMIS platform, leading participants through step-by-step submission guidelines, strategies for troubleshooting common challenges, and hands-on practice in preparing, uploading, and managing programme documents.
