WHY COMPETENCE CERTIFICATION?

• Job profiles appear, evolve, vanish so quickly that formal training system / offer cannot follow.
• Lifelong learning is essential to adapt to a constantly changing labour world.
• Soft skills and side abilities become more important than diploma and CV for a good match.
• Non-formal & informal learning are key EU priorities, calling for recognition / validation.
• Knowing doesn’t mean ability to do, apply, perform, achieve – competence does.
• Competence is now understood as “ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results”.
• Achieving intended results by doing, irrelevant how you learned, is the only relevant finality.
