WELCOME

to the homepage of the European Leonardo Partnership ASK!

The partnership was founded in order to examine how non-formal and informal acquired skills can be assessed and validated properly in vocational training and to work on common quality standards. The research is being carried out within the framework of the Programme of Lifelong Learning of the EU.

Firstly the partnership will carry out a general overview concerning the implementation of different assessment tools in the participating organisations. Next, there will be a comparative study and the documentation of "examples of best practice". Finally, the partnership will develop proposals for the improvement of assessment methods and document its findings in a manual.
