Quality assurance in VET

ROMANIA
Initiatives at National level in Romania

• National Quality Assurance Framework in Technical and Vocational
Education and Training (NQAF in TVET) - developed on the basis of the
European Common Quality Assurance Framework for VET (CQAF in VET)
in 2003;
• basic principles of NQAF in TVET, as adopted by the quality assurance

Law (launched in 2005 and issued on 2006) are:
 results-centred QA;
 emphasis on internal evaluation (self assessment) at provider level;
 promotion of continuous improvement of education and training;
 protection of the interests of the education beneficiaries (first of all,
students’ and employers interests – client phase);
 promotion of the development of a quality culture at provider level
ROMANIA
Romanian institutional framework -1
the QA Law stipulates the foundation of two National Agencies for

QA in education, one for higher education (ARACIS) and one for
pre-university education (ARACIP);
• ARACIP and ARACIS are responsible for:
 external evaluation for authorization and accreditation of all

education providers , TVET included
 external evaluation of the quality of education offered by

accredited education providers , on a regular basis (every 5
years);
ROMANIA
 Romanian institutional framework -2
• by QA Law, all education providers (including TVET) have to

establish an internal Quality Assurance and Evaluation
Commission, which:
 coordinates the application of institutional self-
assessment procedures and activities;
 elaborates an annual self - assessment report (SAR);
 formulates quality improvement proposals
• the annual self –assessment is mandatory for all education

providers; by QA Law, all SAR must be submitted to all
beneficiaries/stakeholders.
ROMANIA
Elements of conformity in TVET
 Curricular standards
– National Curriculum based on Training Standards
validated by Sectoral Committees
– Local Developed Curriculum: allows contextualization
and customization to employers needs
 Accreditation of schools’ programmes
 Semi-External national exams: participation of employers

in the certification exams 23
ROMANIA
National Group for Quality Assurance (GNAC)
• The National Group for Quality Assurance (GNAC) in

vocational education and training was constituted at national
level in 2006, in compliance with the recommendations of
ENQA - VET;
• GNAC is an inter-institutional coordination structure

with the role of applying in a coherent way the European and
national measures for quality assurance in vocational
education and training
