Validation of non-formal and informal learning is not only a political challenge but also an ethical and especially a methodological question: how to measure, how to validate, how to assess. These developments have considerable impact on the professional development of VET teachers and trainers, as they are keys to improving the quality of education and training. This report addresses the role of validation of non-formal and informal learning for enhanced professional recognition of VET teachers’ and trainers’ competences. It presents the outcomes of a study carried out by Cedefop’s training of trainers’ network – TTnet. From nine countries, 28 examples are described and analysed in the report. They highlight developments and current practice by describing the aims and outcomes, the processes and methodologies of validation, as well as quality assurance mechanisms put in place. The report examines processes for identifying non-formal and informal learning, case studies (projects), recognition and curriculum models. It issues key meassages to providers on the one hand, and policy-makers on the other hand.
