During the Joint Conference of NetECVET, the ECVET Pilot Projects and the National Teams of ECVET Experts the ECVET Toolkit had been launched.
The toolkit is an online platform developed by the NetECVET project partners to assist VET providers in the implementation of ECVET in their mobility measures/projects.
