Peer Review as an Instrument for Quality Assurance and Development in Initial VET in Europe

The project aims at introducing a new instrument for quality assessment and development, Peer Review, to the initial VET sector throughout Europe. Peer Review is a form of external evaluation carried out by peers, i.e. "persons of equal standing", who usually also visit the reviewed institution during the evaluation process. Peer Reviews have a long tradition within the higher education sector. In VET provision, experience with the instrument Peer Review has so far been marginal in Europe. The project will transfer and adapt Peer Reviews as a quality instrument to the VET sector (ISCED 3/4). A European Peer Review Manual will be developed and tested in a pilot implementation phase.

The target groups of the project are first and foremost VET providers who will be the users of the Peer Review procedure to be developed, additionally institutions on the VET system level and other stakeholders (learners, parents, social partners, labour market, enterprises etc.) are also integrated in all phases of the project as an advisory board.
