In the VQTS II project, the VQTS model was applied to other sectors (electronics/ electrical engineering) and to other countries and languages. The VQTS II project focused on transferring and further elaborating on methods and procedures for the development of a Competence Matrix by using the ideas and principles described in the VQTS project.The VQTS model was also used for identifying the overlaps in the competence profiles of VET and HE programmes. The project used the VQTS model to adjust and fine-tune programmes in vocational and educational training (VET) and practice-oriented higher education (HE), so they are more compatible. Recommendations on how to enhance permeability and progression between VET and practice-oriented HE were also be developed.
