The ETF Quality Assurance Forum has organised a webinar dedicated to quality assurance in continuing vocational training, on 19 November. The webinar was held in English and French.
The ETF experience in quality assurance suggests that most QA systems are targeting initial vocational and education training, while continuing vocational training is partially covered. Through this webinar, we have shared the experience of some ETF QA forum members in quality assuring continuing vocational training and bring a European perspective about that. Experts from Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Tunisia and the EU have shared their experiences and perspectives.

Anticipating
Dear colleagues, we have just uploaded the report of the Webinar on quality assurance of continuing vocational education and training - check it out !
The issue of QA in CVET is gaining more and more importance as it becomes vital to provide people with access to quality training throughout life.
The recent Commission proposal for Council recommendation on Individual Learning Accounts highlights the issue of providing a selection of trustworthy, quality assured training opportunities to all working age adults.
Thanks for the useful summary report, and for the webinar material. QA in CVET is crucial, notably in the light of the current up-skilling and re-skilling policies, which aim at engaging high numbers of (young and less young) adults in learning.
QA arrangements should take the different angles into consideration - the learners, providers, labour market representatives - for all stakeholders to benefit from a set of common standards.
