Good practice

Many countries have developed national qualifications frameworks. For example, in the UK vocational system qualifications (Qualification and Credit Framework) are composed from learning units.

Each unit is written in a specific way. The format includes:

Unit title;
Level;
Credit value;
Guided learning hours;
Unit rationale;
Learning outcomes;
Assessment criteria.

In the case of Spain, every qualification consists of competence units linked each one of them to a learning module which describes the necessary learning to acquire that competence unit. The learning modules have a standardized structure:

Identification: denomination, level, competence unit to which it is linked, code alphanumeric, length in hours
Capacities or learning outcomes: Assessment criteria and the capacities for a real work context
Learning contents
Parameters of the learning environment spaces and facilities, trainer's professional profile.

The German Audi AG has participated in a pilot project for redesigning two occupational profiles, changing them into a combination of learning units (project EDGE, for details see: Extensions, Download PDF-File) Weiss-Aziz/Meyers
