Comparing qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons – report published

The recently published final report of our Cedefop project on comparing vocational education and training qualifications brings together all the results of several years of work.

Entitled “Comparing voca­tio­nal education and training qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons: towards metho­do­lo­gies for analysing and comparing learning outcomes”, the report brings together the results of three studies carried out between 2019 and 2020 as part of the Cedefop project of the same name and presents potential use cases of these metho­do­lo­gies. It focuses on the added value as well as on the chal­lenges asso­cia­ted with the in-depth analysis and com­pa­ri­son of the content of VET qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons. The report provides a metho­do­lo­gi­cal basis on which both rese­ar­chers and policy makers can build in order to enhance the quality and relevance of VET qualifications.

The overall project was coor­di­na­ted by 3s and Karin Luomi-Messerer and Monika Auzinger authored this report together with Simon Broek (Ockham IPS).
