Quality assurance and flexibility in learning pathways
|
|
Flexibility has become much more important within VET in recent years as there has been a shift to make VET more personalised, learner centred and at the same time more in line with the needs of the labour market. The EQAVET Network came together to see how three countries are adapting their quality assurance approaches to enhanced flexibility in VET. The webinar explored the challenges and solutions for quality assurance in VET within the context of flexible learning pathways. Click ‘Main URL’ below to watch the recording of the webinar.
