Resumen

• The main objective of the project is to develop a European credit based sectoral qualification framework covering the levels 3 to 8 of the European Qualification Framework (EQF) for Life Long Learning (LLL) on the basis of the outputs – cycle level descriptors and reference points for a range of subject areas – of the Tuning project. The development of such a framework – covering secondary and higher education at the sectoral level – was expected to become a major step forward toward the recognition of prior learning (formal, non formal and informal). The intention was to also develop greater clarity about credit ranges regarding the levels 3 to 5.

  The most important objectives were as follows:

  1) identification of (main) subject areas not covered by the Tuning project so far; establishment of subject-area-based working groups for these fields; initiating preparation of key features and cycle (level) descriptors for these subject areas;

  2) mapping of secondary general education and vocational education and training level from the perspective of respective sectors as well as for each subject area involved; identification of similarities and differences at national level;

  3) identification of similarities and differences at sectoral as well as at subject area levels in Europe;

  4) preparation of cycle descriptors for the levels 3, 4 and possibly 5 at subject-area as well as at sectoral level;

  5) identification of entrance and exit points as well as entrances at levels 3, 4 and potentially 5 on the basis of different learning routes taken;

  6) identification of (ECTS) credit ranges for the levels 3 to 5 as well as exploration of the link to the European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET) initiative;

  7) identification of similarities and differences between the already prepared cycle level 1 to 3 descriptors, i.e. the levels 6 to 8 of the EQF for LLL;

  8) preparation of sectoral cycle / level descriptors, written so that both the Dublin descriptors and the descriptors of the EQF for LLL are covered;

  9) identification of communalities between the different Tuning sectoral frameworks;

  10) identification of suggestions for fine tuning and bridging of the Bologna (Dublin) descriptors and the descriptors of the EQF for LLL.
