Line of Development 1 (LoD1)

1. Line of Development 1(LoD1) Development of “Military ECTS-System” Austrian point of view

2. Situation academic vocational hours days ……. ECTS Proposal: Each country uses ECTS for own „academic system“ NO CHANGE Accreditation!! For the “rest”:  other system  e.g.: “MECTS”

3. HP MECTS Situation • Some countries use ECTS for parts of a Module which is considered as “vocational” (France) • Some countries want to implement “MECTS” • Some countries see no need for “MECTS” (Slovakia)

4. Bologna Model ECTS (European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System) 1 ECTS = 25-30 working hours (Austria: 25) guidedlecture 30 - 40 % 7,5 - 12 working-hours guided self- study 10 - 20 % 2,5 - 6 working- hours autonomous self- study 50 % 12,5 - 15 working- hours Exam (optional) ? working- hours

5. Calculation: Working hours + self-studies 30 370 30 = MECTS = 12,3 „MECTS“ - Example Agreement?: 1 MECTS = 30 working-hours

6. following percentage of Bologna-Model(but NOT necessarily self-studies) Calculation: Working hours + self-studies 30 370 30 = MECTS = 12,3 „MECTS“ - Example Agreement?: 1 MECTS = 30 working-hours

7. Example: Defence on Platoon-level in English: 370 30 = 12,3 x 1,00 x 1,25 = 15,4 MECTS MECTS  Factors • Level • Personal/Team x 0,50 • Squad x 0,75 • Platoon x 1,00 • Company x 1,25 • Language • Native language x 1,00 • Other x 1,25 • Others (as agreed?)

8. Proposals/Summary • Following Bologna-Model • Calculation must be same in all MS! • “MECTS”? Instead of ECTS • Difference to “Academic Officer Training” • NOT adding ECTS + “MECTS”! • Description of vocational parts (curricula) • same form and substance as academic part • Recognition

9. Proposals/Summary • Certificate for “MECTS”, if international students are attending • Agreement that first calculations are done with offered exchange projects only • Agreement on a deadline for availability(Feb 2010 ??  4 months) • Results coordinated by a lead-nation and placed on EMILYO-homepage
