The 2nd transnational meeting of the European project: EC-ASE: European Certification for Advisors/Educators of Social Economy was materialised at the University of Economics of Cracow. On June 22-23 the second transnational meeting of the European Project “EC-ASE: European Certification of Advisors/Educators of Social Economy” that is materialised, with the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development as lead partner.
The second meeting was materialised in Cracow, Poland with the hospitality of the University of Economics of Cracow (partner of the project), which constitutes one of the oldest and most significant universities in Europe.
The meeting focused on the process of certification of informal qualifications of advisors/educators of social economy.
With regards to the process of certification it was decided that the process be materialised around January of 2010, in all participating countries (Greece, Italy and Poland). The process of certification includes three stages: Evaluation of the Curriculum Vitae, On-line test with 100 questions of multiple choices and a Presentation of a case study to the Advisory Board of each institution.
Further, so as to ensure equal access of all participants, it was decided that the process be materialised in each national language of each participating country (Greek, Polish, Italian and English).
It must be mentioned that the certificate “Advisor/Educator of Social Economy” will receive high European recognition and credibility since it will be referenced to a corresponding level of the European Qualifications Framework.
The European Qualifications Framework constitutes the first international framework for professional qualifications; it constitutes a system that will evaluate the qualifications of employees in the EU, not based on who issued the diplomas and educational certificates, but on what they really know, what they really understand and how competent they are to succeed professionally.
The member-states are called forth to correlate their national frameworks with the EQF by 2010 and to institutionalize measure so that, by 2012, all new certificates relating to professional qualifications, diplomas and documents issued, will consist of explicit reference to the corresponding level of the EQF.
The participation in the process of certification is free.
All interested individuals can communicate with the Institute of Entrepreneurship Development so as to declare an interest or to the respective partners of each of the participating countries (+30 2410 626 943, info@entre.gr, www.entre.gr, www.socialconsultant.eu ).
