Under the guidance of the Accreditation, Certification and Quality Assurance Institute (ACQUIN), the training programmes were reviewed in terms of quality – for the 1st time within an Erasmus+ project - by an Expert Committee and received international cross-border certification based on the European Quality Assurance Framework for higher education and vocational training (EQF, ESG, EQAVET, EQARF).
The international certification seal is recognition at EU-level standing for the quality of the training programmes:
- responding to the demand for tech-literate elderly care professionals with the capacity to learn, use and evaluate online tools and e-health applications;
- improving access to lifelong learning e-platforms, mainstreaming equal opportunities and inclusion into training;
- increasing transparency and recognition of qualifications by introducing robust quality assurance mechanisms and clear guidelines for accreditation;
- fostering employability of young people in the ageing sector, providing adequate tools that will better their working conditions;
The programmes will be accompanied by a „Work-Based Learning Scheme” adapted to a pandemic for Ageing CareGivers, that is going to provide the necessary linkage between VET Training and Actual Work.
Enrollment to the training programmes is free and open here:
