    11 years of ECVET — A review and outlook

    A publication on the development and implementation of the ECVET system

    A common approach is needed to make voca­tio­nal qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons more com­pa­ra­ble across the EU. In 2009, ECVET (European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training), a credit point system, was developed and imple­men­ted. By focusing on learning outcomes, the system faci­li­ta­tes the reco­gni­ti­on of acquired qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons and pro­fes­sio­nal mobility.

    In a recent publi­ca­ti­on, Karin Luomi-Messerer and Monika Auzinger look back at the deve­lo­p­ment and imple­men­ta­ti­on processes, but also offer a forecast on future European acti­vi­ties in this field.
