The Professional Certification Body (LSP) of Hasanuddin University (Unhas) held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for its 2026 Work Meeting. The three-day meeting, held from Friday to Sunday, 30 January to 1 February 2026, at Aston Makassar Hotel, was attended by the management of LSP Unhas.
In the meeting to discuss the work program, LSP Unhas management addressed various strategic topics related to policy direction and strengthening institutional governance in 2026.
As a professional certification body under a university (LSP P1), LSP Unhas now has 65 certification schemes recognized by the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP). LSP Unhas also has 147 assessors, a number that will continue to grow as its scope expands.
LSP Unhas Chair Mukti Ali, Ph.D, explained that the FGD on the work program is an effort to further optimize LSP’s plans for 2026, set timelines, and clarify the division of tasks among the managers.
“We want LSP Unhas’s activities to be measurable, planned, and aligned with Hasanuddin University’s policies. Unhas now has a Strategic Plan that needs to be translated into the activities of work units, including LSP Unhas,” said Mukti Ali.
As a certification body within an educational institution, LSP Unhas treats students as the main target of the certification process across various schemes. In other words, the competency certification held by LSP Unhas is designed to align with students’ curriculum and learning process.
“We want to produce students who are competent and competitive, supported by competency test schemes that are of high quality and relevant to job market needs,” said Mukti Ali.(*/lsp-uh/ir)
