Expanding BEQUAL Benchmarking Tool and Community of Practice for Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training

The BEQUAL + project transfers innovation techniques for quality assurance in VET resulting from a previous successful project "Benchmarking Tool for Quality Assurance in VET (BEQUAL)", that have been developed and piloted in 6 EU countries. The general aims of BEQUAL+ are:- To develop quality assurance in VET through promotion of self-evaluation, quality benchmarking and networking- To promote the use of EQAVET in VET- To allow practical application of the quality assurance framework in VET- То foster discussion on quality assurance issues- To promote international cooperation and exchange of experience in quality assuranceThe consortium consists of 5 partners from 4 countries (Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey and Italy). The partnership includes public body responsible for VET policy, 2 consulting companies, 1 university and 1 training center. Partners bring specific expertise and complement each other, providing the necessary different points of view and capacity to develop the products. Based on the innovative content developed in the previous project, BEQUAL + will adapt and pilot the benchmarking tool for quality assurance in VET, will expand the Community of Practice, involving more countries, and will enhance the thematic portal with new language versions and new content. The project targets VET providers and stakeholders, policy makers, researchers and practitioners. The anticipated impact includes: - Enhanced capacity of VET providers to develop and improve their quality management practices- Better ability of policy-makers to identify critical issues on quality assurance and to define policy approaches, leading to better targeted policy in quality assurance - Provision of instruments and practices that easily could be incorporated into national quality assurance systems- Provision of new insights into level of VET quality in participating countries compared to other European countries- Increased awareness of EQAVET among VET providers and stakeholders- Improved quality assurance systems in VET- Common trust between different parts of national VET systems and between different countries
