Mapping of initial VET qualifications

The key objective of this study was to con­tri­bu­te to better under­stan­ding of the com­pa­ra­bi­li­ty of qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons from initial voca­tio­nal education and training (IVET).

It mapped the qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons linked to the EQF levels 3 and 4, collected and analysed evidence on how learning outcomes approa­ches have been used for assigning initial voca­tio­nal qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons to NQF/EQF levels. The analysis not only focused on technical evidence, but also took into account broader social and economic contexts in which qua­li­fi­ca­ti­ons are embedded.

The project was coor­di­na­ted by 3s and carried out in coope­ra­ti­on with Ockham IPS (NL) and IBE (PL) as well as national experts from various countries.
