  2. AGENDA • Commonalities of HE and VET • Differences between HE and VET • Experiences with the accreditation in dual degree programs • Challenges of accreditation in VET

  3. commonalities • Both systems deal with skills, abilities and competences • HE and VET are subject to special regulations • VET: frameworks adopt from the Chamber of crafts • HE: frameworks adopt from professional organisations, ministries, etc. • HE and VET use quality assurance instruments to measure quality and to improve it • Both systems allow to transfer school achievements or grades from other countries • Comparability because of international and national frameworks like EQR Thema 01

  4. Differences • Challenge of VET: • To acquire professional/ work experience • Challenge of HE: • To study and research in an academic/scientific field • Access to VET: • Period and requirements of former education • Access to HE: • Further education Thema 02

  5. Differences • Payment during VET vs. Study fees for HE • Central curricula vs. Decentral study programs • In Germany the vocational training as a baker is the same in the hole country; but we have 16 different programs to become a teacher for primary schools • Differences between the responsibilities: • HE: universities and ministries are responsible for the study programs • VET: schools, enterprises, chambers of crafts, chambers of trade and ministries are responsible for the vocational training Thema 03

  6. Challenges in accreditation in VET • The experience of quality assurance agencies with the accreditation in VET lean to zero • We can draw a comparison with the accreditation of dual degrees • Definition of dual degree (in Germany) • At the same time you get an academic degree and a training qualification • Different kind of learning-locations (university and enterprise) • Important part of practical experiences

  7. Challenges in accreditation in VET • Challenges we can see in the accreditation in dual degree programs: • Theory vs. practical experiences • Evaluation of practical experiences • Personnel resources (How to assure the qualification of external staff) • Quality assurance procedures

  8. Challenges in accreditation in VET • Main challenges in accreditation in VET from the perspective of an QA-agency: • Define the addressee • Integration of the stakeholders • Different accreditation procedures vs. „One size fits all“ • International perspective: how formalised is the national VET-System?
