## What RAFD does

- **Program & course specifications** — guided forms following the approved NCAAA structure, with autosave and a saved version of every revision.
- **Course & program reports** — turn a semester's results into a course report or annual program report, wired automatically to data already entered.
- **Learning outcomes matrix** — map course learning outcomes to program outcomes and the National Qualifications Framework, surfacing gaps before a review panel finds them.
- **Key performance indicators** — KPIs, target levels and benchmarks calculated automatically and shown on one dashboard.
- **Self-study & improvement plans** — collect evidence and improvement actions in one self-study file, tracking the status of every sub-standard.
- **Word & PDF export** — export any document in the required official format in one click.

## How it works

1. **Set up your program** — add the program, its courses and its learning outcomes once. That data becomes the reference for every later document.
2. **Fill in the templates** — RAFD walks through what accreditation asks for field by field, and flags anything missing or inconsistent.
3. **Export and submit** — review, export to Word or PDF in the official template, and attach it to the accreditation file.

## Frequently asked questions

**What is academic accreditation in Saudi Arabia?**
Formal recognition that an institution or an academic program meets approved quality standards. It is
overseen by the National Center for Academic Accreditation and Evaluation (NCAAA), part of the
Education and Training Evaluation Commission (ETEC). It takes two main forms: institutional
accreditation for the university, and program accreditation for each academic program individually.

**Which documents does program accreditation require?**
Typically the program specification, course specifications, course reports, the annual program
report, and a self-study report supported by evidence — plus KPIs, a learning outcomes matrix and an
improvement plan. RAFD covers all of these with templates that follow the official structure.

**How does RAFD reduce the time spent on accreditation documents?**
Program, course and learning-outcome data is entered once and reused automatically in every document
that follows. That removes copy-paste between Word files, prevents documents from contradicting each
other, and cuts preparation time by up to 70% compared with doing it by hand.

**Do the templates match current NCAAA standards?**
Yes. They follow the approved structure for program accreditation documents, and are updated whenever
the regulator publishes a change — updates reach the account with no work on the customer's side.

**Does the platform support both Arabic and English?**
Yes. Both the interface and the exported documents are available in Arabic and English with full
right-to-left support, which suits programs that submit their files in both languages.

**Is university data kept secure?**
Each institution's data is fully isolated from every other, encrypted in transit and at rest, with
granular permissions controlling who can view or edit each document. In-Kingdom hosting can be
arranged on request.
