Validation of non-formal and informal learning in VET
This project took the form of a stocktaking exercise, focusing on validation mechanisms in vocational education and training (VET) at NQF (National Qualifications Framework) levels 4-7.
Furthermore, the aim of the study was to analyse to which extent they comply with the aspects stated in the European recommendation on validation of non-formal and informal learning (such as access, methodology, professionalisation and quality assurance). Based on these findings, the conclusions and recommendations were developed in order to support the development of an Austrian national strategy on Validation.
