VET Validation in Spain
The Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport designs national qualifications (VET diplomas), defines learning outcomes, modules and assessment criteria. It is also the body responsible for the assignment of credits and the official validation and recognition of foreign qualifications. Modules of Higher Vocational Education and Training Programmes (i.e. ISCED 5B) have ECTS assigned since they are post secondary non- tertiary education. The new Basic VET and the Intermediate Vocational Education and Training Programmes (i.e. ISCED 3B) are also unit-based (modular). The units of learning outcomes may be accumulated and transferred but do not have credit points attached.

ECVET in Spain

Collaboration with the Technical Committee for VET in which all the regions’ representatives participate. Technical issues are also discussed, debated with the regions’ directors and employers´ organisations and trade unions representatives at the different advisory bodies existing for VET issues. The National Agency (SEPIE) is at the disposal of the Directorate General for VET and the Technical Committee for VET to support the implementation of the ECVET system.

Status of ECVET in Spain Compatibility
- The unit-based system also
supports the process of validation of non-formal and informal learning. Spain has, therefore, a transfer system which is compatible with ECVET principles and technical specifications, but this ECVET system, as such, has not been implemented yet
Status
- Any policy initiatives on
ECVET implementation within the Spanish Qualification System are currently on hold,
and pending of the final approval of
- NQF. If policy-decision is taken,
the existing credit system can be easily brought closer to ECVET. The Spanish Government will have to regulate ECVET, when possible and needed, and it will apply to all parties.
