Quality Code on VPL in The Netherlands VPL Biennale, Rotterdam 9-11 April 2014 Patrick Leushuis Ministry of Education, Culture and Science

VPL in The Netherlands (1) 1994, Committee Wijnen: validation of non-formal learning Follow up: small scale pilots and experiments 1998, Thesis Dr. Klarus: validation of competences 2000, Department of Economic Affairs: working group => publication ‘The bottle is half full’ 2001, National Expertise Center VPL => learn from VPL practice & promote use of VPL Perspective slowly changed: from transparancy in learning outcomes of non-formal learning and connecting learning outcomes of non-formal and formal learning to emloyability, career development and lifelong learning

VPL in The Netherlands (2) 2000-2005: Growing VPL practice Huge diversity in procedures, instruments & quality => demand for clarity & quality demand for promotion of VPL and lifelong learning 2006: National Quality Code on VPL Agreement between social partners, government & education

National Quality Code on VPL (1) Quality criteria regarding: aims rights & information assessment instruments & criteria quality of counsellors and assessors QA by VPL providers VPL = instrument for individual career development directly at the labour market through education and training: exemptions etc. VPL assessment standards formal educational standards VET and HE non-formal standards branches of industry

National Quality Code on VPL (2) VPL = market activity Independent VPL providers Accessibility Reliability Accreditation of VPL standards, procedures & providers External audit organizations National VPL register Tax deductibility of costs for VPL

National Expertise Center VPL Information on VPL and quality code Good practices VPL academy: training VPL-professionals training exam committees VPL toolbox: Handbooks & guidelines competence profiles counsellors and assessors => Focus on summative assessment and quality assurance

Building the VPL-infrastructure Subsidies for regional partnerships learning & working (2006-2010): businesses, education & training institutes, local and regional government organizations VPL and work based learning (WBL) Subsidies for higher education institutes (2007-2011) Regional learning & working offices (since 2010) physical & virtual ‘front offices’ active approach of employers

Promotion of VPL Booklets, flyers, posters etc. Portal and websites Animation clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BZWyh52RCk&feature=related Videos – VPL testimonials etc.: video.ervaringscertificaat.nl National campaigns: TV, radio, internet TV add: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCf4udF_EuA Social partners (employers organizations and unions): case studies on good VPL practices => VPL in collective labour agreements and sector plans

Results Numbers of VPL-participants: - 9.900 - 12.500 - 15.700 - 9.900 - 12.500 - 15.700 - 22.000 - 17.700 About 120 VPL providers by 2010 Mainly formal standards at EQF- levels 2, 3 and 4 Increasing share of VPL-participants in procedures using non-formal standards

Evaluation: experiences and challenges (1) VPL is mostly used as an instrument to obtain exemptions: Educational enrollment & diploma orientation + Direct use on labour market & career development – Effects of VPL for individuals: Changes in tasks, internal & external mobility Income development But only for those who obtained a formal qualification/diploma after their VPL procedure … Challenges: Reinforce the use of VPL on the labour market Reinforce the use of ‘alternative’ instruments (formative)

Evaluation: experiences and challenges (2) Inspection for VET / Higher Education: Concerns about decision making exam committees VPL reports often are not according to standards Problems in transfer and acceptance of VPL reports Market ‘shake out’ VPL providers: High costs of accreditation Numbers of VPL participants per standard are too low Alternatives: intake assessments and exemption procedures

Towards a dual approach in VPL (1) 2013, social partners and government => analysis + proposal: Dual system: VPL in labour market VPL in formal education VPL in labour market: promote the use of a variety in instruments & standards promote integration in HRM policies & practice Quality assurance: no longer a ‘one size fits all’ quality code on VPL VPL in labour market: QA ‘fit for purpose’ VPL in formal education: QA VPL in regular QA education Connection non-formal and formal standards: learning outcomes

Towards a dual approach in VPL (2) Planning: 2014: implementation plan 2014/2015: transitional phase 2016: implementation Issues: National validation authority? VPL in labour market: Quality Code / QA-system: only related to summative use Development and use of national / sectoral qualifications Promotion of use of variety of instruments & integration Responsibility: Social partners at national level? Sectoral employers organisations? Government role (Min. Social Affairs / Economic Affairs)?
