List of Occupations

The SREF rejected the list of Q

1) A lot of the qualifications are coming from the private industry and thus it gives false pretentions that it covers both public and private;

2) There isn’t a geographical balance as the qualifications from Switzerland are dominant;

3) The group does not feel that they are capable to take an objective decision behind the relevance of these Qualifications in the industry as they do not know most of them; As such they are uncomfortable giving subjective views;

4) On operational level, the group suggested that it should be connected to the whole ECVET.

5) The reality of the industry is that even you have a qualification; people still need to have in house training and certification before they start to operate in a particular occupation.

6) The Group has asked whether there was the Involvement of the industry in the compilation of this list. The Group does not feel comfortable in deciding qualifications for occupations which generally is decided by employers themselves.

7) The group queried the sources of these Qualifications and how were they chosen since there are some qualifications from MS that have been left out?

8) Some Qualifications are indeed modules from a longer training course, which should not be considered as qualifications.

9) The Group finally suggested to choose from National qualifications by established EQF levels? Ex: Chef requires a certain EQF level qualification etc…

10) Lastly the Group needs a way forward how to deal with Qualifications in order to be able to finalise everything in the last meeting.
