PRACTICERT will develop, test and disseminate a conceptual framework and series of templates for the recognition and certification of skills (including language skills) and key competencies acquired in transnational work placements, in the hotel, catering and administration sectors. The project both recognises and builds upon the existing activities of EUROPASS.Following initial analysis of the involved sectors, as regards existing certification practices, new methods and materials for certification and accreditation will be developed by the partnership.The materials will be particularly aimed at trainers and assessors and will provide both content and evaluation criteria, as regard the assessment of training undergone abroad. The material will form actual training modules to be produced in EN and all partner languages (DE, FR, IT & PL) and will be output in the form of a 'Manual on Accreditation & Certification', also containing templates of materials and outline descriptions of assessment procedures.Dissemination of the project results and training materials is planned through the broader framework of the related TransNet project, which encompasses all EU Member States, plus a number of associated countries. Further promotional activities will comprise articles in relevant press and journals, awareness raising through partner internet sites and promotion through a number of regional and/or national events across the partner countries.
