The Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) is one strategy to tackling the concerns and obstacles that higher education in Indonesia faces. Higher education is seen to be of high quality if it can strengthen and achieve its vision via mission execution while also meeting the demands of society, the workplace, and professionals. The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation, restrictions, and variations in the usage of SPMI learning management criteria in D3 midwifery research programs. For the inquiry, a hybrid approach with an exploratory sequential design was used. A qualitative methodology was employed in the first phase of the data gathering and analysis procedure, while a quantitative methodology was used in the second. The findings revealed that the adoption of SPMI learning management standards was not done properly, and that it seems to be a series of actions carried out every semester with little progress. However, the general hurdles are four (four), meaning dedication, various opinions, mental attitude, and organization, and it has been established that there are discrepancies in the application of SPMI learning management standards in the Midwifery D3 Study Program. It is advised that the Study Program Director take the time to discover and develop talents in the execution of SPMI in order to establish a strong team.
