A revised version of the guide 'Using ECVET for Geographical Mobility' is now available.The first version of this document was prepared by the ECVET Users’ Group in May 2011. In this 2012 version, considerations about quality assurance when using ECVET for geographical mobility were added.

The 2012 version includes key issues for quality assurance when using ECVET for mobility. By emphasising the quality assurance aspect the guide reflects the growing need for a coherent use of European tools that facilitate the transparency and recognition of skills and competences, notably the European QualificationsFramework (EQF), the EUROPASS and the European Quality Assurance Reference Framework for VET (EQAVET). 

The updated document was also prepared by the ECVET Users’ Group and is part of the series of guidance documents and notes which constitute the ECVET Users’ Guide.
