D4.2 “How to use previous learning in upskilling”_SEEtheSkills_final_31.08.2022_part1
The aim of this document is to serve as an open source toolkit for transferring methodology for the process of recognition and validation of prior learning “How to use previous learning in upskilling” [D4.2], available for use by external users. The process of recognition of previous learning is legal path for obtaining qualification as defined in European qualification framework. Thus, using this procedure for validation of informal and non–formal learning as legal path for certification of skilled workers is enabling taking into account knowledge and skills that workers usually obtain at workplace and during life. It supports lifelong learning process and acknowledges its achievements. As pioneer work, methodology for the process of recognition of previous learning was developed and piloted by UKIM in previous BUS pillars, achieving a huge success and acceptance by workers and companies. Here, this process was adjusted and generalised to be useful for different training schemes and occupations across the entire value chain in construction, with a goal to cover all training schemes listed in BUS Advisor database.
This deliverable contains:
- a brief introduction into the process and the corresponding process for establishment of “certification environment” through establishment of certification body that will perform the whole process of validation further on during the project,
- the printable publication in the form of toolkit “How to use previous learning in upskilling”.
