VET in Spain
VET Validation in Spain The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport designs national qualifications (VET diplomas), defines learning outcomes, modules and assessment criteria. It is also the body responsible for the assignment of credits and the official validation and recognition of foreign qualifications. Modules of Higher Vocational Education and Training Programmes (i.e. ISCED 5B) have ECTS assigned since they are post secondary nontertiary education. The new Basic VET and the Intermediate Vocational Education and Training Programmes (i.e. ISCED 3B) are also unit-based (modular). The units of learning outcomes may be accumulated and transferred but do not have credit points attached.
ECVET in Spain The Directorate General for VET of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport is the body responsible for any development in the field of IVET, as well as the National Contact Point for ECVET. Collaboration with the Technical Committee for VET in which all the regions representatives participate. Technical issues are also discussed, debated with the regions directors and employers organisations and trade unions representatives at the different advisory bodies existing for VET issues. The National Agency (SEPIE) is at the disposal of the Directorate General for VET and the Technical Committee for VET to support the implementation of the ECVET system.
ERASMUS+: VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING Status of ECVET in Spain Compatibility The unit-based system also supports the process of validation of non-formal and informal learning. Spain has, therefore, a transfer system which is compatible with ECVET principles and technical specifications, but this ECVET system, as such, has not been implemented yet Status Any policy initiatives on ECVET implementation within the Spanish Qualification System are currently on hold, and pending of the final approval of NQF. If policy-decision is taken, the existing credit system can be easily brought closer to ECVET. The Spanish Government will have to regulate ECVET, when possible and needed, and it will apply to all parties.
