Information for the Non-Aquaculture sector
The aims of the VALLA project are to support the realisation of a European area for lifelong learning, building transparency and trust by showing how unaccredited learning activities in one sector can be described as Learning Outcomes (what a learner knows, understands and is able to do) capable of inclusion in both National Qualification Frameworks (NQF) and the emergent European Qualification Framework (EQF) and by providing generic tools, methodology and supporting guidelines able to be used by non-aquaculture sectors as well.
Results will be made available when ready.
