Other characteristics of Hanság project Wide range of publicity – Selection from several students Preliminary preparation of travellers – Duration: 1 month – Field: foreign language, professional language – Psychological and cultural preparation – Possibility of linking the credits achieved

Obstacles Foreign language preparation is more difficult at vocational schools than in training adults The effectiveness of vocational exchange practices and language development is very high, but embedding these practices into the local educational system is missing. In the future, this gap can be filled with the acknowledgement, validation and adaptation of these mobilities, concerning ECVET.

Suggestions The already existing vocational system should not be dropped out, it has to be formed into an „ECVET- friendly”, comprehensive and permeable one The would-be users of ECVET should be given the opportunity to be called The ECVET should not be the aim, but a possible tool of professional development.

Summary There are some realized examples There are possibilities in the cooperation There are obstacles in our own area There is a chance for introducing ECVET
