Global com­pa­ra­ti­ve study of qualifications

This study was based on the com­pa­ra­ti­ve analysis of the profile and content of four voca­tio­nal education and training qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons in 26 countries across the world, and from four different continents.

The com­pa­ra­ti­ve study focused on intended learning outcomes and aimed at iden­ti­fy­ing simi­la­ri­ties and dif­fe­ren­ces between qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons. This should enable national stake­hol­ders to reflect on their own choices and prio­ri­ties in relation to the design of qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons and in turn inform the potential deve­lo­p­ment of gui­de­lines for cross-country reco­gni­ti­on of qualifications.

The study was carried out in close coope­ra­ti­on with Cedefop, UNESCO, and the ETF (European Training Foundation), who each com­mis­sio­ned one strand of the project; 3s experts (in coope­ra­ti­on with Ockham IPS, NL) were involved in all three projects.
