- In 2017 the EC started searching Excellence initiatives in TVET allaround Europe.

- Then, they went on Mapping the existing approaches to Vocational Excellence

- After that, they defined a check list of activities that “Centres Of Vocational Excellence” carry out

- And here you have the results:

Under EC standards, the main characteristics and activities of a COVE are the following:
