CREDIT: Credit Systems for Lifelong Learning



Overview


A Research Project funded by the BIBB

Summary
The CES is contributing the Scottish component of a four-country study led and funded by the BIBB, the German Federal Institute for Vocational Training. The other countries are Denmark and the Netherlands as well as Germany itself. The project is being conducted in the context of a growing international interest in credit, especially associated with ECVET, the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training. Scotland has a longer and richer experience of credit than most other countries. The research goal is to find out if and how credit transfer operates at two interfaces: at the points of access to the qualification system, and at the points of transition within the qualifications system or between qualifications subsystems. The project involves a review of existing literature on credit, interviews with key actors, and comparative analysis and synthesis.
