CO.L.O.R. will put into practice ECVET mechanisms
to achieve:
•
qualifications adapted (in terms of LO) and tested on
the basis of shared and tested transferable methods;

assessment, validation and recognition processes
defined;

testing activities carried out (including a Repertory of
case studies) to assess the transferability of the
recognition processes in a trans-sectorial dimension;

a Memorandum of Understanding on ECVET-related
issues among the Italian Regions involved aimed at
promoting a wider use of the project results and
transfer of its results into mainstream policies.
