Development of modules content to equivalent EQF/ECTS Standards

A growing number of learners prefer ‘stand-alone’ educational units or courses to acquire additional knowledge and skills required to the daily practice. In an effort to attract many more trainers, the modules will be developed in a equivalent EQF/ECTS standards with the ability of learning assessment upon completion, to gain a certification of knowledge. Those who will succeed the exams, an electronic badge will be printed attach with the outline and the overall working effort the trainee gave to succeed in such exam. Such option provides the ability and opportunity to the student to apply to be recognised by national vocational recognition bodies and/or Universities, either as gained knowledge in Adult Education and/or recognition of an general elective course at Bachelor studies when, and if they would like to apply a degree programme or training.
