Learning from Others: Benefiting from a non-EU Collaboration

Korea also has a need for an HE-competent labor force. Korea has an operational LLL-system for accrediting all forms of formal (national qualifications) learning and non-formal (sectoral certificates) education: organized by the Academic Credit Bank System. Therefore, Korea’s participation in the project is to strengthen the European emphasis by incorporating Korea’s expertise to link all education-based learning outcomes into the VPL-model—to be developed and tested during the project. The result and impact will be creating knowledge with a competence-based data bank for all credits accumulated during different processes of learning resulting in a EU-based Credit Bank System.
