Coordination between the European tools: EQAVET, ECVET and EQF has
been highlighted as one of the priorities of the EQAVET Work Programme
2010-2012.
In order to enhance this cooperation the Secretariats
of the three networks are organising a joint seminar: ‘Assuring the
quality of VET qualifications – The contribution of EU tools to the
definition and re-definition of learning outcomes based standards’.
The
seminar will be held on 14 and 15 November 2011 in Bonn and will be
hosted by the National Agency Education for Europe at the Federal
Institute for Vocational Education and Training.
The seminar will
provide a forum for national stakeholders involved in the development
of learning outcomes standards to consider how to make best use of the
tools and enhance co-operation in their implementation to support the
development of high quality VET qualifications. The joint seminar will
provide a forum for a structured reflection on the interaction between
the EQF, ECVET and EQAVET instruments.
