The project has the aim to create a certified course for validators and facilitators. There are some courses for facilitators and validators, but without an official certification. A certified course is important, because companies look for workers with certified studies. A certified course is also a guarantee that this course follows a proper methodology.
We have worked on a certified course for validators and facilitators in two ways:
- Checking that every step of the creation of the course is certified. For instance, the skills card, the curriculum and the training materials will be certified. That means that these results follow a methodology and that there is an institution that checks that we follow this methodology. This institution is the company ECQA.
- Proposing solutions to create certified courses for facilitators and validators in Europe. We had compared the possibilities with other similar courses.
