Written by CORPCOM

St. Dominic College of Asia (SDCA) is again revolutionizing education as it receives a recommendation from TÜV Nord for issuance of the ISO 9001:2015 certificate after a two-day site visit held on October 20-21, 2022.

Last October 5, 2022, TÜV Nord visited SDCA with its representative, Maria Luisa Sitchon, for the Level 1 visit, where initial documents, preliminary interviews, and a site tour were conducted.

TÜV NORD Philippines, Inc. is a member of German TÜV NORD GROUP – one of the world's largest inspection, certification, and testing organizations. They audit the quality systems of different organizations and issue ISO 9001:2015 certifications to qualified institutions.

During the Level 2 visit, TÜV Nord representatives Engr. Maria Luisa Sitchon (Audit Team Leader), Ms. Kristabelle Aguilar, Engr. Jocelyn Magat, and Ms. Amelia Lilibeth Cruz (Technical Expert), reviewed pertinent documents, interviewed various academic heads, administrative heads, and quality management representatives, and visited different laboratories and facilities to ensure that the following objectives were met:


  • • Determination of the conformity of the management system of the organization.
  • • Determination of the ability of the management system to ensure the organization meets applicable statutory, regulatory, and contractual requirements;
  • • Determination of the effectiveness of the management system to ensure the organization can reasonably expect to achieve its specified objectives;
  • • Identification of areas for potential improvement of the management system.


After a thorough assessment and review, TUV Nord announced its recommendation to SDCA for the ISO 9001:2015 certification with no minor and major non-conformity during the closing meeting on October 21 at the Accreditation Room.

The ISO certificate that SDCA will receive demonstrates SDCA's commitment to service quality and student satisfaction as it ensures the implementation of its policies and continuous improvement of its quality management system in pursuit of quality education.
