Implementation of Quality assurance in Vocational Education and Training (VET) Institutions (Published 2022)

This Manual provides guidance to Maltese Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions on implementing and strengthening internal quality assurance systems. It offers practical examples and step-by-step support for reviewing existing arrangements, applying quality indicators, and building evidence that training provision meets established standards. Aligned with the European EQAVET framework, it helps institutions embed quality assurance across planning, implementation, evaluation, and review, fostering systematic and continuous improvement.

Intended for VET leaders, managers, and practitioners, the Manual emphasizes evidence-based approaches, stakeholder involvement, and alignment with national and European quality standards. By following its guidance, institutions can enhance learner outcomes, improve responsiveness to labour market needs, and ensure that their VET provision is both effective and sustainable.
