European credit system for vocational education and training (ECVET)

Parent term: Credit

A device in which qualifications are expressed in units of learning outcomes to which credit points are attached, and which is combined with a procedure for validating learning outcomes. The aim of this system is to promote:
– mobility of people undertaking training;
– accumulation, transfer and validation and recognition of learning outcomes (either formal, non-formal or informal) acquired in different countries;
– implementation of lifelong learning;
– transparency of qualifications;
– mutual trust and cooperation between vocational training and education providers in Europe.
