Guidelines for Implementing the Framework
The guidelines are based on a description and analysis of how some Member States have introduced quality assurance processes which recognise the approaches set out in the European reference framework for quality assurance in VET.
The analysis identifies a series of common themes – called building blocks – that have been used to establish and strengthen system-wide quality assurance processes. The ‘building blocks’:
- identify what has already been achieved
- review the evidence surrounding the lessons learnt
- identify the key factors for success
Each building block is different. Some focus on initiatives which are best led by training providers, some focus on centrally driven changes and others are system wide changes where all the key stakeholders are involved. The building blocks focus on the quality assurance (rather than the quality) of VET and identify:
-
those experiences which are common to implementing quality assurance arrangements which are compatible with Framework
-
examples from individual Member States
-
the key lessons that have been learnt
-
factors for success
