Skills acquisition, evaluation, accreditation, recognition. These
concepts
are not always understood by everyone in the same way - the following
are
definitions used by DGXXII
Acquisition
Skills and knowledge may be acquired through formal channels (within
traditional systems) or informal channels (individually, using computer
or
telecommunication products and services through work experience etc)
Evaluation
Evaluation is required to verify the acquisition of knowledge. This can
employ traditional methods (tests, interviews, field analysis) or new
methods (data processing or automated methods, distance methods)
Accreditation
Accreditation comes after evaluation and serves to enable the individual
to
prove that he does indeed have the skills and knowledge he claims. This
must be in the form of documents issued by a public or private
organisation
or institution with sufficient prestige to subsequently ensure
recognition
Recognition
Recognition concerns an individual (employer) or institution (school or
university) other than the one which delivers the accreditation. On the
job market and in the academic world, companies and universities are
able
to trust and accept as valid the accreditations presented.
