Digital Quality Assurance Tools
Development of digital platforms and tools to streamline quality assurance processes in vocational education and training.
Project Overview
This project supports the European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET) National Reference Points (NRPs) in strengthening quality assurance frameworks across Malta's VET system. The initiative focuses on developing practical tools, resources, and guidelines to enhance the quality culture in VET institutions.
Through this Erasmus+ Programme project, MFHEA has developed comprehensive resources including manuals, handbooks, guidelines, and training materials to support VET providers in implementing effective quality assurance processes.

Statistics on VET
This report is based on the recommendation of the European Council for a European Quality Assurance in Vocational Education and Training (EQAVET) Reference Framework. It presents data in the form of indicators, giving insight into the status of vocational education and training (VET) in Malta.
National Handbook for VET Providers
This handbook was prepared by the MFHEA in 2023 as part of the Erasmus+ Programme project. Its main purpose is to help VET institutions improve their quality assurance systems and enhance the quality culture in said institutions.
Guidelines for QA for courses that include a work-based learning component
This document was prepared by the MFHEA in 2023 to aid providers in performing quality assurance when their courses include a work-based learning component (WBL). WBL components can take the form of work placements, apprenticeships and/or internships.
Webinar on Experiential Teaching & Learning
