PREFACE
1. Necessity of the thesis
* Quality control was developed as per three levels: Quality monitoring (QM), Quality assurance (QA) and Overall quality
control (OVERALL QC). QA is the “intermediate” or “transitional” level between KSCL and OVERALL QC. Many nations
have applied a theory of quality control in the production to the educational management and succeeded. The application of
quality control theories and models to the officer training management remains a lot of freshness. To enhance the quality of
officer training management, it will be required to apply quality control theories of quality control to the officer training
management, step by step make good weakness and shortcomings on the officer training management and contribute to improving
the quality of officers.

CHAPTER 1
ARGUMENT ON TRAINING MANAGEMENT OF UNION COMMANDING OFFICER TOWARDS QA
1.1. Overall study of training management towards QA
1.1.1. At abroad
- 3 -
1.1.1.1. Study of general quality control: The quality control came from Japan and was initiated by Ed.Deming and J.M.
Juran. After that, the quality control method of Ed.Deming and J.M. Juran was expanded and developed, which strongly
influences the QC movement in many countries. Core contents of theoretical model of the quality control as proposed by
Deming and Juran are 14 contentions and 10 contentions, respectively. In the late decade of the XX century, UK put forward a
code of standards of “Quality Systems” BS 5750. Nowadays, the model BS 5750/ISO 9000 has been applying to establish a
quality control system at the Education & Training establishments in accordance with ISO 9000 standard.
1.1.1.2. Study of training management towards QA
a) Study of training management towards QA at the national scope
* Study trend on setting up QA organization and setting up QA procedure at the national scope of some European and
American countries: These countries set up their QA research and implementation agencies and proposed quality verification
procedures for implementing the QA.
* Study trend on setting up QA organization and setting up QA procedure at the national scope of some Asian
countries: China, Korea, Southeast and Pacific countries made studies on the education of QA.
b) Study of Training management towards QA at the international scope: Universities in the Europe carried out the QC
based on the European quality control model (EFQM) of the European Quality Control Organization.
Universities Association of countries in ASEAN – AUN bloc (established in 1995) carries out establishing an
educational quality standard and looked for measures on continuous quality improvement of the universities in ASEAN.
In brief, foreign countries gained certain achievements in the study of quality control, training management towards
QA, focused on studying and developing at university education level. Studying and developing the training management
towards QA in the field of managerial staff training are limited.
1.1.2. In Viet Nam
The educational QA has become guideline and policy of the Communist Party and the State and is concerned and
studied by scientists.
a) Study of argument on training management towards QA: Typical representatives are the authors Pham Thanh Nghi,
Nguyen Huu Chau and Tran Khanh Duc.
- 4 -
b) Study and application of argument to the reality of training management towards QA: Having proposed university
education management model and university education quality evaluation criteria from the quality control point of view of
ISO&TQM. In recent years, the training management towards QA is paid attention.
c) Books, curriculum, magazine of training management towards QA: Typical representatives are the authors Nguyen Mi
Loc, Tran Kiem, Luu Thanh Tam, Pham Quang Huan, Phan Van Kha and Dang Ung Van and etc.
d) Some theses which study training management towards QA: Authors are Vu Xuan Hong, Nguyen Van Ly, Nguyen Van
Hung, Nguyen Duy Hung, Trinh Thanh Ha and etc. We select and inherit the confirmed results and continue studying, renovating
and finalizing the Union Commanding Officer training management towards QA.
e) General trend on studying and developing QA in education in Vietnam: In 2003, Educational Quality Verification and
Examination Department was established. Therefore, QA in the education has been developed.
In general, many research work on the educational management referred to QA, training management towards QA in the
university education. However, a study about the training management towards QA in the form of managerial staff training school
is still fresh. Up to now, there has been no work making a comprehensive and extensive study about the training management of
managerial staff towards QA in Vietnam. Successful study of the Union Commanding Officer training management towards QA
will contribute to the improvement of managerial staff training quality and can be a suggestion of managerial staff training
management model towards QA in Vietnam.
1.2. General argument on training process, training, management of training process, training management
1.2.1. Training process and components of training process
1.2.1.1. Training process concept: is the process of teaching activity organization of a teacher and learning and
practicing activities of a learner in an aim to form and develop the personality of the learner in accordance with the training
target.
1.2.1.2. Components of training process
According to the author Dang Quoc Bao, the training process consists of 10 components; According to the author
Nguyen Duc Tri, the training process consists of 11 components. We have opinion that “the Process” consists of 3 steps
“Beginning”, “Development” and “Conclusion”. The training process begins from Training Target and ends with Training
Product; and consists of 10 components: Training Target, Training Program Content, Training Method, Training Form, Training
Condition, Teacher, Learner, Training Organization Machinery, Inspection and Evaluation of Training Process and Training
- 5 -
Product. It is possibly understood that: the Training process is the organization process of the teaching activity of the
teacher and the learning and practicing activities of the learner learner in an aim to form and develop the personality of the
learner in accordance with the training target.
1.2.2. Training and components of training
1.2.2.1. Training concept: is the process equipped with new knowledge and skills for the learner so as to implement
some given works (jobs) in accordance with the identified Training Target.
1.2.2.2. Components of training
In our opinion, training is the concept whose comprehension is broader than the training process. The training begins
from the step Enrollment (based on social requirement, beyond the training process) and ends with the Training Product.
Components: Training Regulation, Training Environment do not belong to the training process but they are the components
of training. Therefore, the training consists of 12 components: Social Requirement; Training Target; Training Program and
Content; Training Method; Training Form; Training Condition; Teacher; Learner; Training Organization Machinery;
Training Inspection and Evaluation; Training Regulations, Training Environment and Training Product.
1.2.3. Training management, training process management
1.2.3.1. Concept
a) Training management concept: is the component system management relating to the training from the enrollment
to the operation of components combination from the Training Target, the determination of the Training Program Content,
organization of training activity which occur in the Training Environment to achieve the training result to the satisfaction
of the Social Requirement.
b) Training process management concept: is the management and implementation of steps of the training process,
from the management of the Training Target, establishment management of the Training Program Content, organization
management of the training process (teaching activity, learning activity by using forms, methods and conditions of
training), management of coordination of training forces and management of training quality inspection and evaluation to
the management of the Training Product, which occurs in the regulations and training environment.
1.2.3.2. Training management measure: is the way of components system management relating to the training from
the enrollment to the operation of components combination from the Training Target, the determination of the Training
- 6 -
Program Content, organization of training activity which occurs in the Training Environment to achieve the training result
to the satisfaction of the Social Requirement
1.2.3.3. Components of training management, training process management
a) Components training management
In our opinion, the training management is the management of one perfect system including 12 components (the teacher
component becomes a teaching activity, the learner component becomes a learning activity in the training management); these
components have interactions (see Figure 1.1):
YCXH: Social Requirement
QLMT: Training Target Management
QLNDCTr: Management of Training Program and Content
QLPP: Management of Training Method
QLHĐD: Management of teaching activity

to the management of implementation of standards, criteria and indices of evaluation in the process of striving for achieving
the training quality.
b) Components of training management system towards QA: include 3 main components: Management inside the training
establishment (input, process and input); Self-evaluation and External evaluation.
1.3.2.4. Models of training management towards QA
a) Quality control levels: There are 3 levels of quality control from low to high: QC, QA, OVERALL QC. These 3 levels
consist of the mutual inheritance and development. While Quality monitoring has been done at the top level management
(focusing on detection), quality assurance has been transferred to the task and responsibility of the management entity
(focusing on prevention, this is the intermediate level of management between Quality assurance and Overall quality control
(focusing on improving overall quality). QA highly appreciates autonomy, self-responsibility and a culture of quality
management.
b) Training quality control levels: Corresponding to the quality control levels, there are 3 training quality control levels:
Training QC, Training QA and Overall training QC.
c) Models of training quality assurance: The thesis only introduces some popular QA models in the education: ISO 9000
model, EFQM model, SEAMEO model and CIPO model (Context - Input - Process – Outcome): the quality of one training
policy as per the CIPO model is the management quality of 3 components: Input, Process and Outcome in the Context of the
school.

- 17 -
Le Duan school ensured quality survey the Union Commanding Officer training management in almost measures but has
not success ensure quality (according to model CIPO) in almost measures management.
Though the quality assurance is undertaken in most of management methods for training but the training quality is not
assured in the management methods of training. The efficiency of management methods of training is restricted, ranked at the
average level. The groups of management of coordination between training resources, management of enrollment,
management of utilization of physical infrastructure, equipment and budget for training are not properly implemented. The
methods of inspection, evaluation of training are not accurate. The School has not yet set up the criteria for auditing the
training quality. The training, coaching, learning and drilling are not actually evaluated. The training program is dominated
with theory delivery and slowly updated with new topics. The management, evaluation of post-trained YPCs is not regularly
and scientifically carried out, not obtained feedback properly that help adjust and supplement the training management.

The objective groups are highly aware of the necessity and feasibility of the groups of management of YPC training
measures in orientation to the quality assurance. The test results on Pearson ratio with 0.38≤ r ≤0.56indicate that there is a
proportional relation between the necessary and the feasibility that helps the Author have a base to proceed with experiments
on some proposed measures.
3.4. Experiment on management of the quality assurance - oriented YPC training
3.4.1. Organization for experiment
3.4.1.1. Objective of experiment: aims at verifying the feasibility of the two management measures: “Renovating the
training contents, program per module” and “Organizing to coach, learn, drill per training module” that contribute to build
up command skills for YPCs.
