Tutor Competences specifications

Academic Tutors in VET are teachers who execute specific tasks to facilitate the relationship between the student, the enterprise and the school. They then highly contribute to the quality of learning and the professionalisation of learners thanks to their great efficacy.

Therefore, their capacity to ensure correct structure and quality of tutoring will allow:
- consolidation and development of their professional capacity
- securing their professional pathway
- technical and commercial differentiation for their employers.

The CERTITUDE project aims to address the expectations of professionals in education in relation with the ISO 17024 standard.

The competencies expected for these academic tutors have been formalized, shared and validated with a group of sector experts for the sake of transparency and recognition of the profile.This competence specification is a key to the implementation of the certification scheme.
