WHAT THE PROJECT IS ABOUT
RELEVANCE FOR QUALITY ASSURANCE
Not the collection of quality assurance data but their utilisation proves to be a serious problem. Therefore, VET providers in
the healthcare sector have been studied in six European countries to find out which factors promote or hinder the utilisation
of quality assurance data. Based on the finidings guidelines have been formulated to promote the utilisation of quality
assurance data.
Models and tools Criteria/indicators/
benchmarks
The Book “Improving Quality Assurance in European Vocational Education and Training”
presents the theoretical framework that was used for investigating which factors
enable or constrain a successful review phase in quality assurance activities. Moreover, it
includes the research results and the guidelines for a successful review phase that were developed
on the basis of the research results.
MAIN PRODUCT 1
Book
“Improving Quality Assurance in European Vocational Education and Training”
Tools and instruments
Guidelines for a successful review were developed which are included in the Book “Improving

and describe an approach for gaining insight into the critical success factors under which
quality assurance leads to a successful review.
MAIN PRODUCT 2
Guidelines
Quality assurance of vocational education and training in EU countries
The brochure contains guidelines for the quality assurance
of vocational education and training (VET) in Europe.
Based on research of quality assurance within case study
institutions providing healthcare VET in six EU countries:
Denmark, Estonia, Germany, United Kingdom (England),
Italy and the Netherlands.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DISSEMINATION AND TRANSFER
Though researched around VET in health care, this project should prove a worthwhile resource for all providers of VET in the
EU. It could also prove informative across all other levels of education and training.
