The Netherlands is one of the most active member states in the field of Quality assurance in VET and Dutch quality assurance systems in VET centres are very much elaborated as Quality is adherent to Dutch culture.
Therefore the inclusion of BEQUAL benchmarking tool in the collection of best practices for quality assurance in VET that was assembled by the National Agency for Lifelong Learning Programme is for outmost importance. BEQUAL tool has gained visibility in the Dutch VET system, even if it is not available in Dutch language. This fact proves the relevance and quality of the Bequal tool and presents an opportunity for further expansion in more EU countries.
