Practical Methodology for Acquiring Key Competences of European Reference Framework
through Continuous Vocational Education and Training
(PR-ERF)
Project number: 2013-1-SE1-LEO05-15265
Practical Methodology for Acquiring Key Competences of EU Reference
Framework through Continuous VET (PR-ERF) is a Leonardo Da Vinci
Project, launched on the 1st of December 2013. The main goal of the pro-
ject is to adapt the European Reference Framework for Key competences
(ERF KCs) to CVET to facilitate learners` personal fulfillment, develop-
ment, inclusion and employment.
The specific objective is to develop the holistic methodology for recognition and
development of ERF KCs as a package of Knowledge, Skills and Attitudes that
learners need to acquire through CVET for personal fulfillment, development,
inclusion and employment.
The methodology will be based on the product of Cyprus Leonardo da Vinci
EQLearn project, namely methodology for recognition and development of ERF
KCs in initial VET for integration of low-skilled adults. The training curricula and
materials developed in EQLearn correspond to basic levels of the European
Qualification Framework (EQF) up to level 3.
Shift in treating ERF in Sweden
In Sweden the concept of competence is difficult to interpret and Swedish policy
documents and the EU key competences treat it differently.
Swedish educational system defines goals and objectives rather than competences
or skills. In fact, there are two types of goals, that are detailed in the curriculum
documents: ‘goals to strive towards’ and ‘goals to attain in the compulsory school’.
Both of them more or less describe what is included in the levels of competences
of ERF.
Thanks to the PR-ERF project, the situation has started to shift. PR-ERF, being
coordinate by the Swedish partner, is based solely on European understanding of
competences, as they are in European Reference Framework.
