DESCRIPTION
At INTED 2014 Conference in Valencia, Stéphane Jacquemart, a Tudor Center senior researcher represented the result of the European project Certitude (www.tutor-certification.eu) ; the ISO-17024 Academic Tutor Certification Scheme. In Education, all actors in charge of the relation between students, teachers and professionals may understand the impact of a clear qualification definition. A clear improvement of apprenticeship by reinforcing the relation between all stakeholders for employability benefits. The Certitude project (www.tutor-certification.eu) funded by the EU Leonardo da Vinci programme has achieved to deliver a complete ISO 17024 certification scheme with the support of an experts committee in which professionals (Tutors, Publics Bodies, Certification Bodies) have participated. They contributed in validating the Tutor qualification profile, the certification rules, the examination criteria and examinors calibration. The Certification Scheme test is running during spring 2014 to be updated before the commercial run-up planned for October 2014.
