Research and anecdotal evidence points to a significant proportion of individuals abandoning AT devices, citing lack of support during introduction and use amongst contributing factors. To counter this problem, Hereward College, in collaboration with UK partners in the public and private sectors developed a nationally accredited qualification that focuses on the individual user of AT. With guidance and support from Hereward College, the ATVET project partners will oversee the creation of country-specific VRQ Level 2 (equivalent) vocational qualifications following the developed model. Due to the nature of candidates and their work patterns, the delivery of learning materials and course content will be via an online, country specific Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) as well as through the development of a course handbook by each partner country.The outcome of the project will impact on AT professionals, the users of AT in all 5 partner countries and on the Vocational Education and Training (VET) systems of each country. AT professionals will be better able to support the appropriate AT for individuals’ needs, users will be empowered to make better decisions ensuring their independence and well-being and VET systems will be enhanced through the availability of a new qualification which will fit within the European Qualifications Framework.
