  1. Analysis of certification systems in partner countries mag.Danica Hrovatič, Slovenia Happy Farm, 2nd International Meeting Ireland, 12th-16th September 2007

  2. Analysis structure • 0/ Introduction (project goals, purpose of analysis, partners presentation, methodology) • I/ Starting points of the qualification systems (terminology framework, some aspects of educational and vocational systems, REVANIL process) • II/ Education and training for people with special needs and employment difficulties • III/ Cases of comparable vocational qualifications

  3. Project aims • to develop social enterprises on countryside (with social services, sports and ecological aspects); • opening new possibilities for employment; • preparation of the supporting programmes of social enterprises; • preparing vocational programme for working on farm.

  4. Purpose of analysis • training of project group/providers of SE • training programme/standard on 3rd level • 3 programmes of social enterprise (farm) supporting the project HF at achievement its goals

  5. Methodology OECD, EC, LLL, national reports desk research questionnaire 1

  6. Structure of the questionnaire 1 National strategy that defines the system of recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning 25 questions in three chapters: • national strategies and legislative framework in the field of recognition • national strategies and legislation about training programmes of people with difficulties or less opportunities on the LM • comparable vocational qualifications

  7. I / Qualification systems and REVANIL • Terminology framework (glossary) • Characteristics of educational and training systems between the partner countries • National strategies and legislation framework of REVANIL process • Certification system (Slovenia, Ireland) • Actors, conditions, financing

  8. Terminology framework • recognition and validation of non-formal and informal learning : REVANIL • 15 other terms connected with project (education, learning, certification system, recognition, standard, competences, ...) Source: OECD (2007): Qualification Systems. Bridges to Lifelong Learning. OECD, Paris.

  9. REVANIL Recognition (legislation is not necessary) Validation (legislation is or not necessary) Accreditation (legislation is necessary) certificate / award / qualification Non-formal and Informal Learning learning outcomes knowledge, skills and competences

  10. Characteristics of Educational and training systems between involved countries: How to get education or qualification? we have to compare learning environmentandqualification structure (school, working place)

  11. Typology of QS (8) • Dual System: responsibility between schools and firms; • Qualification Framework: explicit framework from educational and occupational sectors; • VET Schools: studies to specific occupational area; • Centralization: unified QS controlled by agency/government; • Labour Market: entry to LM is regulated through qualification; • RPL: clear national system or programme; • Credit System: different qualifications can be combined; • Credentialist: education and other credentials are essential for entry to LM, to higher education, progress.

  12. Comparison of QS * This is definitely true for my country (1); ** This is only partially true for my country (2); There is only limited experience of this in my country (3); This is not present in my country (4)

  13. Strategies and legislation (REVANIL)

  14. REVANIL and VQ

  15. Two cases: SLO and IR • SLO: process of recognition (group and individual counselling, creating portfolio, validation of competences) and procedure of assessment and accreditation (portfolio assessment and accreditation) • IR: developing awards and standards by FETAC
