Is a PQS considered as a separate program with its own distinct managerial system?

Yes, a PQS (Professional Qualification System) is typically considered a separate program with its own distinct managerial system. It is designed to standardize and assess professional qualifications within an organization or industry. This system often includes specific guidelines, processes, and management structures to ensure consistency and effectiveness in evaluating qualifications. As such, it operates independently from other programs within the organization.
