Quality Assurance National Reference Point for VET
The Finnish National Agency for Education helps develop quality assurance in vocational education and training (VET). Vocational training providers are responsible for the quality of the qualifications, training and other services they provide and for the continuous development of quality assurance. The National Agency for Education is also the National Reference Point (NRP) for quality assurance in VET in Finland.
The development of quality assurance in VET is strategic, on-going and comprehensive. The Finnish National Agency for Education supports training providers in the continuing development of quality assurance and contributes to development of quality assurance in VET in cooperation with the EQAVET (European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training) network and other NRPs. The National Agency for Education also disseminates good practices and information. So-called working life committees contribute to the quality assurance of organisation of skills demonstrations and to the evaluation of skills and competences.
