Project No.: 2012-1-HU1-LEO05-05823
Acronym: ECVET – HEALTH TOURISM
Dear Sir/Madam,
In the framework of ECVET – HEALTH TOURISM project I would like to invite you to become our
participant organization in signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
The MoU is an agreement open to all interested organisations and in particular to public authorities
competent in VET, health and tourism, to social partners and VET providers operating in health
tourism sector and to other interested parties, to implement the MoU at European, national,
regional, local and sectoral level, starting from the partners of Leonardo da Vinci ToI project “ECVET –
HEALTH TOURISM” and by the organisation adhering and collaborating to this.
The project in question is an ECVET (European credit for vocational education and training) process
to put in transparency and recognise across Europe the learning outcomes and the qualifications of
the professional figures in the health tourism sector. The main aim of the project is to define and
validate health tourism professionals’ competences through a system of ECVET credit points
recognised at first within the partnership countries (Belgium, Hungary, Italy, Romania and Slovak
Republic) and eventually at EU level.
As one of the main factors of limitation to learning and work opportunities, and to mobility beyond
VET systems, is identified in lacking definition and certification of professionals’ tasks, knowledge,
skills, competences and learning outcomes units, the project intends to apply EQF and ECVET to
these professionals, defining the field of qualification, mapping it onto EQF via national qualifications
frameworks and systems, allocate ECVET credit points according to qualifications, with the aim to
validate, transfer and recognise learning outcomes achieved in formal, informal and non formal
contexts.
Purpose of the MoU
For applying ECVET in the participating countries to learning outcomes achieved in formal, nonformal and informal learning context particularly for the health tourism sector, in particular for the
professional figures operating as Cosmetician, Fitness-wellness assistant and Health-tourism
manager, the present MoU establishes that each participant:
- accepts each other’s status as interested actors and/or competent institutions;
- accepts each other's quality assurance, assessment, validation and recognition criteria and
procedures as satisfactory for the purposes of credit transfer;
- agrees the conditions for the operation of the partnership, such as objectives, duration and
arrangements for review of the MoU;
- agrees on the comparability of qualification concerned for the purposes of credit transfer, using
EQF to establish the reference levels;
- identifies other actors and competent institutions that may be involved in the process concerned
and their functions.
