The main expected outcomes are the production of:

  • Commonly agreed "Guides" on principles, on a methodology and on key contents to provide a common European sectoral framework on sport sector activities, sport standard occupations and related competences/learning outcomes, defining a European common device for sports qualifications in relation to the EQF;
  • Commonly agreed "Guides" on principles, on a methodology and on key contents to provide effective cooperation between the national qualification systems, frameworks and authorities and their counterparts representatives of the sports sector at  national and European level;
  • Commonly agreed "Guides" on principles, on a methodology and on key contents to integrate into the sports sector the EQF principles, methods and tools including credit transfer and accumulation, validation of non formal and informal learning, quality assurance to assess qualifications.

Those "Guides" will be adapted to the sector needs from previous experiences run on a smaller scale ("good practices" of sports sub-sectors) and/ or from documents produced by the Technical Working Groups (TWGs). They will be disseminated in the whole sector, primarily to policy makers, "developers" and training providers. An organisation will be settled to update regularly those documents.

Considering the strength of the European networks and organisations participating in our project, we expect a large mobilisation of the sector and target the implementation of the EQF process in the sports sector, based on these principles methods and tools, in at least 2/3 of the E.U. countries before 2010.
