Funding information

Project duration: 01/2008 – 12/2009

Project code number: 134049-LLP-2007-PT-LMP

Funding guideline: Multilateral innovation project in the framework of the EU Lifelong Learning Programme, Leonardo da Vinci

Project concept

Initial situation

In recent decades, learning in the workplace has become increasingly important. Training is also increasingly integrated into the work process. In practice, different profiles of facilitators of such learning processes have emerged, but they were not yet documented and compared across the board. The project therefore set itself the goal of formulating an activity profile that is relevant throughout Europe.

Target groups and their benefits

The ReSyFac project was aimed at trainers and competent government agencies and social organisations in the field of vocational education and training. The aim is to increase and consolidate mobility in Europe through a European reference system.

Project goal

The ReSyFac project aims to develop a European reference system for facilitators and thus contribute to the transparency and recognition of facilitators' qualifications in Europe. This reference system is intended to be a building block for the European ECVET system.

Role of ISOB

ISOB took over the internal evaluation and accompanying advice to the partners during project development.

Products and planned publications

On the basis of a survey instrument developed by the partners, an overview was created in 27 European countries on the basis of national expert reports on

  • the status of the respective education and training system and the development of national qualifications frameworks in view of the EQF/EQF
  • The nature and extent of the learning processes prevalent in companies
  • the structure of the offers of education providers
  • the activity and competence profile of a learning guide that currently exists in the partner countries and that is considered desirable in the future

From this, a reference system was created in approximation to the ECVET system. The establishment of an internet portal also served this purpose, in order to support self-learning through learning guidance, especially for SMEs.
