“Quality Assurance and Accreditation in Lifelong Learning”

The international expert seminar on quality assurance and accreditation in VET and HE held at the Berlin School of Economics and Law on February 24-25, 2011 will bring together experts from Europe and beyond and from different professional and institutional backgrounds.

The Bologna process has made the accreditation of academic programmes and institutions a widely recognised standard in the European Higher Education Area (HE) and similar – but so far less coherent – tendencies can be observed in vocational education and training (VET).

The lifelong learning approach is gradually making the division between HE and VET obsolete and a growing need for a common (core) framework for quality assurance and accreditation is slowly emerging. The challenge is to create synergies and bring about coherence in systems that still operate quite separately.

The seminar has two main objectives: first, to explore methods and tools for overcoming the existing dichotomy between external and internal quality assurance and, secondly, to search for synergies to support the improvement of quality in education and training provision. The intended outcomes should help to identify the core elements of a mutually reinforcing approach to quality assurance and accreditation fit for lifelong learning and applicable to both VET and HE.
