Final results of the EQF project ZOOM (Buildung up mutual trust: Zooming in on EQF-level six with regard to the engineering sector)

The project focused on two sectors: motor vehicle engineering andelectrical engineering and on EQF level 6.

ZOOM partners have prepared descriptions and analyses of learning outcomes of the master craftsperson qualification in the participating countries. They have then classified the qualifications on the basis of these descriptions and on the so-called best-fit principle. Additionally, they have undertaken a “reality check” through peer visits by external experts to include the feedback of “critical friends”.
The main results of the ZOOM-project are:

  • Guidelines for the description of learning outcomes
  • A project website  including a dynamic online tool into which learning outcome descriptions were fed and which allowes partners and external experts to comment on the self-referencing and classification of qualifications.
  • Learning outcome descriptions  
  • A Peer visit synthesis report  which sums up the results gained during the reality check  by expert visits to all partner countries
  • Project conclusions and suggestions  including a recommendation of a classification  method

The final results are available here.
