An analytical cumulative report on indicators used by providers in relation to EQAVET. The report is a synthesis of national reports, which were elaborated based on a questionnaire examining the criteria, descriptors and indicators VET providers in the six consortium countries were currently using and how they corresponded to EQAVET criteria, descriptors and indicators.

The developed web based guidelines give providers tool for interpretation and adaptation of EQAVET criteria descriptors and indicators to both national quality framework and the environment and conditions of the VET institute. Guidelines is part of Quick Scan tool and have been developed as a "step by step" path on how to be in line with EQAVET.

The final online version of the guidelines (integrated into O3) indicates the pathway concerning alignment with EQAVET objectives that are specific to provider context at national level by considering the impact of European VET instrument (EQAVET) on provider concerning quality in VET.

“Quick Scan” is an integrated tool for self-assessment, quality management and improvement process, developed for VET providers based on the updated results of 3 prior Quality Assurance projects (CQAF-VET online, EXPERO2EU, Peer Review for VET). The functionality of the tool enables VET providers to approach the quality cycle of EQAVET with consideration to national QA. Quick Scan features an online test, which helps a provider detect their extent of alignment with EQAVET objectives and immediately provides the relevant guidelines on how to increase such alignment in the chosen attention areas. The guidelines resulting from Quick Scan give providers tool for interpretation and adaptation of EQAVET criteria descriptors and indicators to both national quality framework and the environment of the VET institute.
