Evaluation and Quality Assurance in Adult Learning (EQUAL)

Quality assurance and evaluation are two of the most important elements in education and training. Quality assurance and evaluation methods and practices have been established to some extend in education of all levels and in vocational training. Especially in schools and universities, there exist common acceptable European quality criteria, indicators and evaluation methodologies.

In adult education, however, due to the diversity of the institutes that deliver training, quality assurance and evaluation techniques are missing or they do not guarantee the expected results. EQUAL project aim was to develop, test and deliver a training course, addressed to managers, administrative staff and trainers of adult training institutes in the subject of Quality Assurance and Evaluation in Adult Education in institute level and in project level.

The main activities of the project are: the development of the training course (curriculum and materials), training of trainers, pilot tests of the course and delivery of the course in two occasions.

The expected outcome of the project is a paneuropean training course on quality assurance and evaluation in adult education.
