  • Recognizes the contents of the professional standard in full,
  • recognizes the contents of the professional standard in part and determines those knowledge, skills and competences that it will test,
  • does not recognize any content of the professional standard because the candidate does not demonstrate any knowledge, skills and competences from the professional standard, and will check the entire professional standard as appropriate.

CHECKING

In the practical work assignment, the candidate demonstrates mastery of the required professional competencies according to the requirements of the professional standard and technical documentation. In addition to the practical assignment, an oral defense of the assignment may also be given.

National vocational qualification

(NPK) is:

  • the procedure for obtaining a publicly valid document (certificate)
  • the process of obtaining a profession
  • the process of recognizing or confirming already acquired knowledge and skills.

The process of acquiring NPKs is generally divided into three sets:

  1. candidate application
  2. advising the candidate and preparing his collection folder (certificates, proofs, reference letters, articles, acknowledgments ...)
  3. verification and validation of NPK

 Application

The candidate applies for the procedure on the announced application deadline. Check the implementation queries on the website of the organizations that implement the NPK for a particular profession.

Validation

During the counselling process, the candidate prepares a portfolio. The relevant committee assesses the portfolio and recognises the catalogue content in part or full. If the committee is unable to recognise all catalogue content, it assigns tasks to the candidate for verification. 

Verification method

Direct verification takes place at a place of assessment in the form of practical work and an oral presentation. The place of assessment (simulated user living environment) must meet the relevant material conditions.

Verification and assessment are carried out by committees for the verification and validation of national vocational qualifications, appointed by the National Examination Centre (NEC). Committee members must be licensed by the National Examination Centre.

Condition for obtaining certificate

The candidate demonstrates the attainment of the knowledge, skills and competences defined in the catalogue of standards of vocational knowledge and skills.
