EuPQua ECVET

EuPQua ECVET - European Partnership for Quality and Implementation of the European Credit System in Vocational Education and Training - is the continuation of the successfully implemented partnership EuPQua but with a new focus: assuring high quality in mobility projects through identification and definition of units of learning outcomes. The partnership will case study three vocational training courses:

• state certified technical assistant of building technology
• graphic designer
• nursery school teacher

Parallel to the partnership project, the partners run mobility projects for apprentices of the above mentioned courses. Thereby, we combine theory (which we discuss during the partnership meetings) and praxis (which we experience by running the mobility projects), which we hope will help us to draw up three accurate vocational education and training profiles. The results of the partnership will be put together and presented to the interested public in the seminars, which will be held in each one of the participating countries.

EuPQua

The project EuPQua - European Partnership for Quality in Vocational Training results from the cooperation between nine organisations from all over Europe, which have been working in the field of vocational educational programmes. Goal of the partnership is to improve the quality of service provided within the framework of the Lifelong Learning Programme. Within the partnership shall be developed common criteria for assessing quality, discussed and put down in writing - based on the experience gained in the mobility projects so far. In order to reach this goal the organisations will be working two years long on these issues and meet seven times, which will allow the exchange of best practices, the development of joint approaches and methods which will help to further enhance the quality of mobility projects and thus benefit the actual participants in the projects themselves. A further point of focus will be the inclusion of the local networks of the partners and the validation of the project’s results including digital media, also by including elements of E-learning in the organisation of mobility programs.
