"Bequal.app" – Benchmarking for Quality Assurance in Apprenticeships and Work-Based Learning

From 1 October 2018 to 30 September 2020, the Chair of Pedagogy II is participating in an international EU project entitled “Benchmarking for Quality Assurance in Apprenticeships and Work-Based Learning – BEQUAL.app”. This two-year EU project is funded by Erasmus+.

The central idea behind the Bequal.app project is to develop, test and establish two online benchmarking tools for quality assurance in training and workplace learning: one for vocational training providers and one for companies involved in training.

The specific objectives of this project are to develop quality assurance frameworks, two self-assessment questionnaires and two online benchmarking tools for quality assurance in vocational training and workplace learning. In addition, the Bequal.app badge will be introduced for vocational training providers and companies involved in training and workplace learning that demonstrate ‘good practice’.
