The objective of the project “It’s time. European vocational training workplace tutor for company training supervisors“ was to transfer the elements of the innovative “workplace tutoring“ further training approach developed in Germany to European partner countries and to develop the training in Germany further by incorporating new ideas from the partner countries. Useful learning arrangements throughout Europe shall be developed and tested in the project, especially through the development of blended-learning modules. The object was to support practical and in-service forms of learning. The respective learning modules will be assessed with credit points in an examination of the usability of both the ECVET concept and the ECTS system. At the same time integration into the NQF/EQF shall be carried out. The aim of these efforts is to increase the quality and attractiveness of the further training for company training supervisors, to enable the permeability between the different educational systems (vocational training, university) and to utilise the experiences and competences of the European partners in e-learning and blended-learning approaches for trainers.Our investigations have shown that the “workplace tutor” further training approach is unique in Europe and that other European countries with a dual vocational training system can greatly profit from this qualification offer. The added value for the cooperative partner institutions in Europe is that they are able to expand their further training offers round the innovative "European vocational training workplace tutor" and cover the qualification needs of company training supervisors in their countries much better.If established in a European validated framework, the “workplace tutor” model would boost the further training of the vocational training staff in Germany considerably. German company training supervisors could for instance complete their further training in different EU countries and still acquire a state-approved certificate with no loss of time or quality. Alternatively, trainers from partner countries could complete their further training (in parts) in their native countries and take the state-regulated examination in Germany. The application of European credit points and the integration of the further training into the NQF and EQF would then be of considerable benefit to all parties involved.
