1
The framework relevance to the career-world and
employers
  • Tallin oct 2012

2
General information about the F NQF
  • Registration is not compulsory
  • Registration is regulated by law
  • If the qualification is under the responsibility
    of a ministry where the pattern of the
    qualification can be discussed in commissions
    including social partners -gt registration by law
    (7 ministries)
  • HE if habilitation by the ministry in charge of
    HE registration by law
  • Publication on the official website formulation
    in LO and Validation of prior learning are checked

3
General information about the F. NQF
  • If there is no discussion with social partners a
    process to analyze if the qualification is
    compliant with the criteria of the Commission
    nationale de la certification professionnelle
  • A publication of an official text of the minister
    in charge of the Employment and VET.
  • A bottom up system (qualifications or diploma are
    made by their owners and then controled or
    accredited)

4
The principles of the French NQF
  • A qualification must be oriented towards the
    labour market (HE diplomas included)
  • A strong connection between the French NQF and
    the file of the Labour Agency describing the
    occupations
  • Levels 5 and 8 must fulfill these requirements

5
The definition of the level III (5 EQF)
  • Level III (5 EQF) qualifications attest a higher
    level of knowledge and abilities without
    including expertise in the scientific grounding
    of the relevant fields. The required abilities
    and knowledge enable design and/or supervisory
    and/or management responsibilities to be assumed
    autonomously or independently.

6
EQF Level 5an important level for the French
NQF
  • More than 900 qualifications ( gt10 of the
    qualifications registered)
  • Either in VET, in tertiary education or in HE
  • In many fieldsindustry, crafts, arts , health ,
    tourism and services with different meanings

7
The meanings of level 5 in France
  • In arts  somebody who is an artist but who is
    able to manage a small enterprise  ex Diplôme
    des métiers d'art Art du bijou et du joyau (arts
    of jewels and gems)
  • Webmaster level 5(VET) knows all the necessary
    technical aspects but is able to monitor
    technological developments and to have a complete
    view of the costs

8
A creation of the 60s
  • A need of the labour market during a growth
    period (technicians and upper technicians),
    trained or not by the Education system
  • At the time  short   curricula (2 years)
  • Now the duration is only used for initial
    training, (certifications are described in LO)
  • Cooperation between stakeholders to develop the

9
Many stakeholders 1
  • The  brevet de techniciens supérieurs  
    (ministry in charge of education) 1959
  • -gt for a direct integration into the labour
    market
  • gt the  twin  qualification of the ministry in
    charge of agriculture
  • gtthe ministry in charge of HE

10
Many stakeholders 2
  • The ministry in charge of sports
  • The ministry in charge of health (most of the
    qualifications ,for instance Medical Laboratory
    Technician )
  • The chambers of crafts and trade , the chambers
    of industry
  • many private providers ( ex webmaster level 5),

11
Some points about these qualifications
  • A qualification oriented towards the labour
    market which proves
  • That people have a high technical level in the
    and autonomy ( many  techniciens supérieurs 
    upper techicians or  techniciens conseils )
  • The ability to organize the work of other people
    and to train them

12
Pathways
  • How to become an engineer the example of the
    ITII (institut des techniques ingénieurs de
    lindustrie) technicians level 5 selected to
    get the grade of master with a  titre
    dingenieur  - grade of master- by initial or
    apprenticeship ( 1450 engineers in apprenticeship
    in 2011- 38 schools or universities involved)

13
The pathways
  • The choice for the level 5 HE diplomas , 120
    ECTS , to show the possibility to go further (
    Bologna process)
  • For the other qualifications ECTS are not
    forbidden , ECVET less developped (only under
    experimentation)
  • Pathways to tertiary VET and HE (bachelor grade)
  • A dilemma ECTS or ECVET ? Or ECTS and ECVET?
    (but not a mix of the two systems)

14
Some information about 2 formal qualifications
BTS and DUT
  • BTS(ministry in charge of education ) graduation
    for upper technicians -BTSA similar but in
    charge of the ministry of agriculture-
  • 88 BTS within 4 fields industry,services,health
    and nursing, arts
  • Created after the analysis of the commissions
    which create VET certifications for the ministry
    in charge of education bac professionnel for
    instance ( state and social partners)

Level 8
  • For the time being France is studying this level,
    but strong indications
  • PHD grades (  doctorat  in French) , and
    qualifications recognised at this level by the
    ministry in charge of HE (pharmacists )
  • But the descriptors will not be based on the LO
    of PHD

19
Level 8
  • A few qualifications coming from continuing
    education these qualifications will have to
    show a higher degree of managing complex
    situations in unpredicatble contexts
  • The knowledge which will have to be used in these
    qualifications will be in the vangard

20
Level 8
  • A general agreement these qualifications must
    not be a specialization (for instance
    qualifications opened to people who are already
    engineers or managers)
  • A consequence of the reflection on level 8 and
    the relevance of the NQF to the carrer world a
    refusal of the employers to put the PHD at the
    highest rank in collectiveagreements on salaries
