LICEO U SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETES ISO 21001:2024 STAGE 1 AUDIT
In its continued pursuit of academic and operational
excellence, Liceo de Cagayan University has successfully completed the Stage 1
Audit for the ISO 21001:2024 Educational Organization Management System (EOMS).
The audit was conducted by A Cube TIC Limited from July 31 to August 1, 2025.
The Stage 1 Audit assessed the readiness of Liceo U’s
management system for full certification. It covered operations across all
three campuses: the Main Campus in Kauswagan, the Paseo del Rio Campus in
Macasandig, and the Rodolfo N. Pelaez Campus in Calamansi Drive.
The evaluation focused on institutional processes,
stakeholder engagement, legal compliance, and the adequacy of documentation.
The audit process included site visits, document reviews, and interviews with
university leaders, academic heads, and support service unit managers.
Key areas reviewed included Academic Affairs, Research
and Innovation, Finance, Human Resources, Information and Communication
Technology, and External and Cultural Affairs. Auditors evaluated how well
these units align with ISO 21001:2024 standards, including the implementation
of quality objectives and stakeholder-focused practices.
As a preparatory step for full certification, the
Stage 1 Audit determined the university's conformity to ISO requirements. The
audit team confirmed that Liceo U has established a documented management
system with appropriate feedback mechanisms and performance indicators in
place.
Based on the audit findings, Liceo de Cagayan
University has been officially declared ready for the Stage 2 Audit. This next
phase will evaluate the effectiveness of the university’s management system in
practice.
With this milestone, Liceo U reaffirms its commitment
to providing quality education and continuously improving its institutional
systems in alignment with international standards.
