Review process within the VPET system

© SFIVET
Every five years, upper-secondary level VET programmes are subject to review and possible revision. You require assistance with this process or perhaps wish to determine whether tertiary-level professional qualifications in your area of economic activity are still relevant today. You may also wish to know whether training meets quality standards. We can answer your questions and provide you with an individualised offer matching your specific needs.

We plan the entire review process with you, prepare the list of questions and survey design, organise large group meetings or workshops and prepare a report presenting the results. You will also receive recommendations on how to adapt the given professional activity and associated vocational or professional qualifications.

5-year review of VET programmes
wrap-text

Every five years, VET programmes are subject to review and possible revision to determine whether training matches current work requirements and meets quality standards. We consult with you on the most suitable procedure for your needs, prepare a list of questions and consider the target audience. The review and revision process may take place either in a large group setting with VET professionals from vocational schools, host companies and branch training centres or it may take the form of an online survey among professionals working in the given occupational field. If necessary, we can also organise targeted workshops on specific topics. We then present the results in a report. You will also receive recommendations on proposed action steps to be taken.

Your benefits:

  • Interaction with fellow professionals and, if a large meeting is organised, opportunities for greater cooperation between learning locations (vocational schools, host companies and branch training centres)
  • Involvement of all stakeholders if an online survey is used
  • targeted discussion of specific topics and concrete optimisation proposals if thematic workshops are organised
  • Report presenting the results along with proposed action steps and specific recommendations on how to future-proof the given occupation
