EASO training and learning strategy

This strategy, replacing the previous version of the EASO Training Strategy (2016), outlines the principles that guide EASO in the implementation of its mandate as provided for in Article 6 of the EASO Regulation. EASO will design its training material based on a learning outcomes approach, thus focusing on the knowledge, skills, responsibility and autonomy that the learner should acquire once the training is completed. The implementation of learning outcomes in the design of training and learning material will ensure that a learner-centred approach is adopted, and that the focus will be on what the learner will know and will be able to do, and how this can be measured and demonstrated by means of an assessment. This approach has also provided the foundation for the establishment of a European Certification and Accreditation of the EASO Training Curriculum, supported by Member States through the EASO Certification and Accreditation Working Group (CAWG). The Certification and Accreditation of the EASO Training Curriculum is being developed without prejudice to national systems. Training material is developed, updated and upgraded by EASO in close collaboration with Member States. An EASO focal point is nominated for each specific development/upgrade/update process and Member States are invited to contribute through the deployment of content experts who support EASO throughout the drafting process. The involvement of external experts may also be considered, and EASO may work in partnership with other relevant agencies or organisations. However, the ultimate responsibility for the content of the training material is retained by EASO.
