This document presents a comprehensive training module on the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training, a framework designed to enhance transparency, comparability, and recognition of vocational qualifications across Europe. It explores the core principles of learning outcomes, European Qualifications Framework levels, credit transfer and accumulation, competence-based assessment, and mobility mechanisms. By linking vocational education to labour-market needs and supporting lifelong learning, the module provides practical guidance for learners, educators, and institutions to build flexible, outcome‑based pathways.
This content is provided in two formats: a full document offering detailed analysis of the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training structures, processes, and best practices, and a summary presentation that visually highlights the key insights in a simplified form.
