Consultation on a European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training
The
objective of the planned ECVET is to create a European device which will
facilitate the transfer, validation and recognition of learning outcomes
acquired by individuals moving from one learning context to another or from one
qualification system to another, in particular during a mobility period, and
who wish to obtain a qualification.
ECVET
will be used on a voluntary basis.
The
Commission is consulting all the countries participating in the Education and
Training 2010 work programme, the European Social Partners, the relevant
European associations, NGOs and networks, European sectoral bodies etc. The
responses will be taken into account in establishing the final content and
technical specifications of ECVET.
The
consultation will close at the end of March 2007. The Commission and the German
presidency will co-host a conference in Munich in June 2007. The
conference will present an analysis of stakeholder responses to the
consultation and generate discussions which will inform the Recommendation on
ECVET.
