The ECVET CONNEXION study, on the one hand, aims at analysing the IVET system in Europe from the angle of the training offer (nature, organisation, programs, offer delivering,); on the other hand, at identifying the obstacles to the implementation of the proposed ECVET mechanism; and to formulate recommendations favouring its development.

In  the frame of the feasibility studies related to ECVET device ordered by the DGEAC of the European Commission, the study ECVET Connexion focuses specifically on the perspectives of implementation in initial vocational education and training provision.

A parallel study, ECVET REFLECTOR, focuses specifically on the certification components. The results of both studies were presented together at a European seminar held in Berlin on 30 November 2006.
