The aim of the project was to use the Europass Mobility as a documentation instrument for ECVET and to make proposals for the further development of section 5a.
The Europass Mobility can be applicable as a document for quality assurance when documenting competences for ECVET. However, an evaluation study about the utilisation of the Europass Mobility has shown that the spaces in the document where the acquired skills and competences can be described were rarely used. There seems to be a problem in differentiating between the descriptions of jobs/tasks carried out and acquired skills/competences because partly the same contents are filled in for both.
At the same time it is necessary for the implementation of ECVET in Europe to report the experiences made with mobility actions in a bottom-up process to the EU-level in order to enhance the practicability. There are different requirements regarding evaluation and documentation in the different countries. In the project the Europass Mobility was used as a basis for mutual trust and possibility for recognition. As a basis for the identification of common job procedures the VQTS model was transferred to the hotel restaurant and catering sector. The modified Europass Mobility was used and tested through negotiation processes in mobility projects (ongoing and separately applied mobility projects) in the hotel restaurant and catering sector. The project was coordinated by f-bb (DE).
