Map 3E - Use of EU tools to enhance the visibility, transfer and recognition of learning outcomes acquired abroad by IVET learners
This map focuses on the range of EU tools for visibility, transfer and recognition that are in use – at least to some extent – for IVET international mobility in countries. Five EU tools were considered here: the Europass Mobility Document, the Europass Certificate Supplement, ECVET, the EQF/NQF, and the learning outcomes approach. Within this framework, the map distinguishes countries depending on the number of tools that they use. It can be noted that there is not in the European Union a single country where at least one of these five EU tools is not used for visibility, facilitating mutual understanding between sending and receiving institutions, transfer or recognition in IVET mobility.
With regard to the specific purpose of mobility in IVET, nine out of the 30 countries represented use all five tools (Bulgaria, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia and the United Kingdom). Nine countries use four tools (Austria, Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Latvia, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland and Spain). Four countries use three tools (Croatia, Greece, Iceland and Sweden). Five countries (Cyprus, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia) and Belgium-FR use two tools. Only one tool is used for the purpose of IVET mobility in France, Ireland, Belgium-DE and BELGIUM-FL.
Section 3.1.7 of each country fiche gives more details on the country’s approach to the use of EU tools for visibility and mutual understanding, transfer and recognition of learning acquired abroad by IVET learners.
