CQAF is a reference system designed to support Member States to develop, improve, monitor and evaluate their QA systems, based on common principles. The aim of CQAF is to help Member States and participating countries to develop, improve, monitor and evaluate their own systems and practices, based on common principles, criteria and tools. The CQAF can be applied at both the system and VET provider levels and can therefore be used to assess the effectiveness of VET. It gives a particular emphasis to the improvement and evaluation of the ‘outputs’ and ‘outcomes’ of VET in terms of increasing employability, improving the match between demand and supply, and promoting better access to lifelong training, in particular for disadvantaged people. In total the gains from the use of the CQAF are effectiveness, transparency and mutual trust in VET systems, within and across countries. The framework includes the following interrelated elements: Planning, Implementation, Evaluation & assessment, Review.
