Final Project Report EASY Metal
Project Name/Author: EASYMetal
Date Posted: 21 March 2014
Description: EASY Metal points out to action required to achieve improvements regarding transition from the pre-vocational to the vocational system. It also illustrates the complexity of reform efforts in vocational education. The variety of actors, including those from the private sector, and their commitment - a strength of the German dual system - makes it necessary to include a wide variety of institutions and organizations. EASYMetal implemented the ECVET specifications in a manner that is consistent with the national laws in vocational training. For example, no Memorandum of Understanding was developed because no systemic connectivity exists. Instead, a recognition system was implemented.

VaLOGReg Final Report
Project Name/Author: VaLOGReg
Date Posted: 04 June 2012
Description: The goal of the VaLOGReg project was to determine how the specifications of ECVET could create conditions for this mutual trust among the partners and institutions working in different learning contexts in respecting as well the legal context and by the way the subsidiarity principle as well as the cultural background of each system. By basing themselves on the comparison of curricula (training profile) and the technical specifications of ECVET without units, the partners of the project have developed an approach that is both general and transferable to other trades and professions in order to build the mutual trust that is required to recognise learning outcomes acquired in another region.

BE-TWIN Final Report
Project Name/Author: BE-TWIN
Date Posted: 04 June 2012
Description: The ECTS (European Credit and Accumulation System) has become one of the main pillars of the Bologna process towards a common European Higher Education Area. More recently, ECVET (European Credit for Vocational Education and Training) has been designed as a response to the specifications of vocational education and training (VET). A central issue is to define the connections between these two instruments. The Be-TWIN project aimed at tackling this issue by testing a common implementation of both credit systems to improve learners’ and workers’ horizontal and vertical mobility and foster a common approach to education and training in Europe and the realisation of a European area for lifelong learning, thus linking the benefits of both systems and enhancing mutual understanding.

Date Posted: 08 July 2011
Description: This is the final report on the outcomes of the OPIR project, running from March 2009 to February 2011 with seven European partners, coordinated by the French Community in Belgium. At its core, OPIR aimed at an increase of transparency of certifications by revealing the common elements of those qualifications. These common elements are “learning units” on which the mobility of those learning should depend on. To experiment with the validity of the model developed within the frame of the project, the partners organised mobility periods for trainees in two different trades (hairdresser and “automatician”, short for automated manufacturing systems technician). The report contains a description of the metholdologies implemented, the outcomes of the project and the lessons learnt.
