By releasing the first set of eCompetence Learning Units, an important step forward for the project has been made. Six of the e-Competences Qualification Profiles developed in WP3 (Vocational Qualification and certification standard) -identified in accordance with the market needs survey and the ICT Professionalism Transnational Frame defined in WP2- have been translated into Learning Unit sets, describing learning objectives and outcomes, learning contents, educational resources and evidences for competence assessment purpose.

​

The most challenging and valuable result achieved is the methodological approach defined to set up a common frame consistent with the European e-Competence Framework.  This aims to be a reference for both training and learning paths and for recognition and further certification of prior learning, such as job and life experiences, in a reliable and transparent way.

 

The six Competences developed by the Project key partners (FPM - Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, leading the whole Project and specifically Work Package 4, Adfor, bITa, Cefriel, ESICEE, UAH) are:

• A1 - IS and Business Strategy Alignment,

• A6 - Application Design,

• A7 - Technology Trend Monitoring,

• B3 - Testing,

• D2 - ICT Quality Strategy Development and

• E8 - Information Security Management, as defined in the European e-Competence Framework.

​​

The next step will be to make the structure -as well as the Learning Unit plans and the related content for each analysed Competence- available on a public internet platform and tested through pilot face-to-face and interactive sessions.

The outcome of the experimentation and the feedback from the external experts will provide the information to improve and finalise the training.

 

Furthermore a second set of Learning Units concerning nine additional competences will be developed.
