Besides, Dr. Nguyen Huu Cuong instructed the faculties to analyze some criterion samples (criterion 1.1, criterion 2.1, criterion 3.1, criterion 11.1) in steps:

• Identifying inside contents, key words of the criterion;
• Analyzing the contents of each benchmark which the criteria need to pass;
• Making a table to compare the current state of the training program with the benchmark requirements and evidence that the Faculty/ University already has;
• Writing the current state description of the training program following the benchmark (it could be that one paragraph follows one benchmark) together with specific exhibits.
   

The lecturers and staff attending the training stated difficulties as well as questions during the deployment process so that the University can consider and support in time to submit the Self-Assessment Report aligned with the schedule set by the University.
