New qualifications and competencies (NQC)

Given the future perspective inherent to NQCs, there is a preference for a broader notion of competency that captures the potential of people embracing knowledge, skills and attitudes. They may be phrased in abstract terms (e. g. social competencies) or be put into more concrete terms (e. g. applying empathic attitudes in conflict resolution processes; analysing technology enhanced work-processes; creating innovative concepts to set up a business). In this volume, qualification is understood as a formal proof of successfully completed learning according to an agreed standard. We also recognize that as learners in TVET are increasingly less novices but mature and experienced adult learners, formal qualifications face competition from micro-credentials and other short course awards – some of these may also be provided by non-traditional, private providers.
