EQAVET - Vocational education and training: new online tool enhances quality

The "EQAVET Quality Cycle" is a new online tool developed by the European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET) network which helps Member States and vocational education and training (VET) providers to enhance the quality of VET.
The tool is based on the guidelines of the European quality assurance reference framework for VET and helps to adapt these guidelines to the situation in each country.
The tool assists VET systems and providers to:

• evaluate their approach to quality assurance;
• examine how other Member States and VET providers in Europe operate their quality assurance system;
• explore new ideas relating to the design of national, regional or institutional quality assurance systems;
• stimulate further thinking on how to introduce or develop quality assurance mechanisms.

The tool is available at:

• For VET systems: http://www.eqavet.eu/index.html
• For VET providers: http://www.eqavet.eu/index2.html
