Accreditation of vocational learning outcomes in HE in AT - examples
a) access to courses of study at universities of applied sciences (Fachhochschule) without a Matura (upper secondary school leaving exam) but with relevant professional experiences
b) individual exemption of single courses or semesters based on certificates from other study courses or on non-formal and informal learning
c) generalised (blanket) exemption of semesters for graduates of certain VET colleges

VQTS model
LdV Project Vocational Qualification Transfer SystemVQTS I: 2003-2006; VQTS II 2008-2010
Learning outcomes approach
___Based on the description of work-related competences___Competence development model ___Enhances transparency, facilitates comparison of qualifications/programmes (identification of differences and similarities)
Core elements / instruments___Competence Matrix – displays competences structurally in a table___Competence Profiles – are formed from individual parts of this Competence Matrix

Competence Matrix „Mechatronics“
Steps of competence development2-6 stepsAcquisition ofcompetences - from beginner level to“skilled worker”level
Competence areas5-25 areasRelated to core work tasks in a certain occupational field

Competence areas One competence area comprises various forms of competences necessary for completing core work tasks in an occupational field – e.g.:
___Maintaining and assuring the reliability of mechatronic systems;___Installing and dismantling mechatronic systems and facilities;___Installing and adjusting mechatronic components in systems and production lines;___Designing, adapting, and building mechatronic systems and facilities on the basis of client needs and site plans;___Putting mechatronic systems into operation and providing clients with technical and economic support;___Supervising and evaluating both the process sequences of mechatronic systems and facilities and the operational sequence (including quality assurance), etc.

Steps of competence development (1)
Example: ‘Installing and dismantling mechatronic systems and facilities’
Step 1: He/She can use written instructions to install and dismantle individual components (sensors, actuators, drives, motors, transport systems, racks) that form a functional group of mechatronic systems.Step 2: He/She can master the installation and dismantling of mechatronic systems that use several technologies (mechanics, hydraulics, pneumatics, electrical-mechanics, electronics), set up the connexion technology, and check the efficiency of the overall system.Step 3: He/She can provide independent mechatronic solutions for the construction of production lines, assure their overall ability to function, and, in addition, can use both existing and modified standard components.

Steps of competence development (2)
Context-related descriptions___related to the process of work (core work tasks) ___work-related categories: objects of skilled work; tools, methods and organisation of skilled work; requirements for (skilled) work and technology___descriptions are complimented by examples
Dimensions___to enable the differentiation between steps___examples: – e.g. increasing ability to
perform independent work tasks deal with complex situations deal with quality standard demands deal with dynamic situations…

Competence Profiles
„Individual profile“→ competences acquiredby a person in training
„Organisational profile“→ competences relevantfor a certain training programme or qualification

The VQTS model can be used for
___the transfer of vocational competences acquired abroad___the transfer of competences acquired within the official VET system or through non-formal or informal learning___the development of qualifications ___composing job profiles and human resources planning ___enhancing the visibility of differences in qualifications, therefore for use in the development of the EQF
AND…

VQTS model on the interface between VET and HE
___Competence Matrix with a broader scope___for making visible the overlapping areas of the competence profiles of VET and HE qualifications___‘key-lock-principle’: to make VET and HE programmes more adaptable
Partnerships between VET and HE providers – e.g.___joint definition of Competence Profiles for the admission into training programmes/courses at HE,___tuning or adapting training programmes/curricula in VET and HE to be more compatible,___coming to an agreement about the possibility of giving credits for already acquired learning outcomes that will count towards an HE award.
