Currently throughout Europe qualifications in vocational education are awarded at college or national level and very often are little understood beyond national boundaries. This project aims address this situation by producing agreed evaluation criteria for the evaluation of student performance. In the previous Leonardo project (on which this proposal is based) training curricula were divided into currriculum A (specific technical content relevant to each harvesting method) and curriculum B which dealt with country specific content. The main aims of this project include: • Transfer of the modular approach to curriculum development produced in IEFHR to two new EU countries, namely; Latvia and Lithuania;• Curricula development for two methods of mechanized forest harvesting (curricula A) in the two new EU countries in line with the models developed in IEFHR; • elaboration of country specific curricula (curricula B) in the two new EU countries;• determination of evaluation criteria for assessing student performance.The partnership comprises forestry educational and training organizations and professional organisations in the field of forest harvesting operations.The tangible outcomes will include:• Adopted curricula structure in two new EU countries; • Two modified curricula A in the two new EU countries; • An expanded network of participating EU countries in the field of curricular development in forestry education and training; • An emerging development and adoption of an ECVET system for forestry education and training.The intangible outcomes will include:• Improved international relations;• Networking amongst forest sectors in an expanded group of EU countries.The impact of the project will be a more developed and robust mechanized forest harvesting resource in the EU with common curricula structures and evaluation facilitating greater mobility of trainers, students and machine operators.
