ANNEX I This Recommendation proposes the adoption of a VET quality assurance and improvement cycle. It is based on a set of suggested quality criteria, descriptors and indicators applicable to quality management at the level of systems, training providers and certification. The aim is not to introduce new standards, but to support Member States, while safeguarding the diversity of their approaches. The proposed descriptors and indicators should be seen as guidelines and may be selected and applied by users of the Quality Assurance Reference Framework. They may be applied to initial and/or continuous vocational training, depending on the relevant individual characteristics of each Member State's VET system and the type of VET providers. They are to be used on a purely voluntary basis for the purpose of managing the quality cycle. The responsibility for monitoring the quality of these systems remains entirely with the Member States. The Quality Framework should be regarded as a ‘toolbox’ from which the various users may choose those indicators most relevant to the requirements of their quality system.
