Often people with (learning) disabilities, or people from sectors of society where educational achievement is low, are not able to graduate from formal vocational trainings such as apprenticeships. As a result, these people tend to join basic vocational training courses specifically designed for them by certain institutions, in order to gain knowledge, skills and competences for use in particular vocations. Although they are often well trained and have learned how to do specific tasks in these courses, they do not receive any officially accredited certification of this, as the training programmes are mostly non-formal. For employment, a transparent certificate showing potential employers what a person is able to do as a result of a completed training would be very helpful.
The aim of this project is therefore to develop a model for accreditation and certification of these training courses, using the European and National Qualification Frameworks.
