Case study 1 Case study 1

-Partners: Centre des formations industrielles (training centre), Fédération de la Plasturgie (professional organisation), Ministère de l’éducation nationale (competent institution), BASF (German partner for the mobility scheme)

France: Qualification: BTS des industries plastiques – Europlastic> Vocational qualification at EQF level 5> Content designed at European level > Implemented in France as a National diploma of the Ministry of High Education> National examination and national recognition> 120 ECTS points applicable according law for the complete qualification

Training programme:> Duration of the formal training path: Full time 2098h

Germany: Chemical Technician apprenticeship in-company program recognized by the Land - - 12 apprentices from the BASF training center aged between 17 to 21

30 training centres (full time or apprenticeship) are currently running the BTS des industries plastiques – Europlastic and are in in charge of the small part of the

examination called CCF.

The Centre des formations industrielles (training centre for apprenticeship managed by CCIP) is the only training centre to test a mobility scheme in the framework of the BTS

des industries plastiques

CS1: EUROPLASTIC experimentation

According to the Europlastic and Chemical technician standards, the objective is to implement 2 common modules:

> One module in France on plastics converters to be delivered by the CFI

> One common module in Germany on Communication and English language competences to be delivered by BASF training center

Objectives of the case study:

1) Apply the methodology developed within WP2 by proposing an application of both credit systems to the existing qualification (BTS)

2) Define the number of ECTS credits allocated to each learning activity, define the number of ECVET credits allocated to each unit of Learning outcomes

3) Define the assessment modalities for both credit systems

4) Organise a mobility scheme to test the device in real contexts.

→ Write and sign a MoU and prepare Learning Agreements for eachApprentice

→ Organise the mobility schemes (3 weeks each): - November/December 2010: German apprentices to France- March/April 2011: French apprentices to Germany


ECVET requirements:- according to our calculation, if the French students pass the

assessment at the end of the exchange, they will get 4,5 ECVET points


At the end of the exchange, the French students will be assessed abroad by a teacher on part of the unit E.2.2

Thus, when the students will pass the final exam, the points earned will be added to the total and will contributed to the award of the Diploma

validate the learning outcomes as part of a unit


The LOs achieved during the exchange will be validated by the training center (accepted and integrated to the training path) and will be recognized by the French Ministry of Education because it is this institutional organization which delivered officially the diploma

validation and recognition in the partner systems made visible and understandable for the learners


Obstacles to validation and recognition of learning outcomes In France

The Unit of LOs’ approach is generally consolidated so there are not real obstacles to the recognition of Units or part of Units (subunits) of LOs.

The duration which is usually not so long (due to money constraints) makes it difficult the ACQUISITION AND THEREFORE THE VALIDATION of LOs in a short period of time.


main constraints to validate and recognize LO

The main constraint we had to face is the French law which enables the recognition and validation of

LOs for the strict rule on procedures and teachers


In Germany

The Los, achieved during the exchange, will be: > assessed by a teacher on the part of their diploma regarding chemical

processes;> validated by the training center (accepted and integrated to the training

path);> be recognized by the Land.


Obstacles to validation and recognition of learning outcomes

In Germany

In-company Diploma ---> binding requirements of the training directives which guarantee a uniform national standard; therefore, their adaptation to the current enterprises’ needs is not easy

Current trends in Chemical Technician apprenticeship in-company program: on-going changes in the overall structure ---> still waiting for an official framework
