The developed standards are used to determine and evaluate the quality of the content and results of educational activities of the university.

This was made possible by the competence of the working/project groups including not only the academic staff, but also students and business representatives. The results of work proved the efficiency of introducing external educational programs partnership which is one of the KNTEU priorities.

According to the current procedures, it was organized the training of internal auditors, advising those responsible in the departments that are part of the KNUTE QMS, as well as participants of the process on the peculiarities of the System in terms of DSTU ISO 9001: 2015.

Due to all these measures at the beginning of 2017 KNUTE became the first in Ukraine among higher education institutions to successfully pass the Quality Management System certification for compliance with the requirements of the international standard ISO 9001: 2015.
