The ECVET-TOUR for tourism and mobility is within the life long learning program (Leonardo da Vinci) a project supported by the European Community in the field of tourism - cook and hotel and restaurant assistant - in vocational education and training.

Transparency and acceptance of competences and qualifications are very important in the field of vocational and further education. People working in tourism industry do not have the possibility to compare their qualifications so far. The project ECVET-TOUR tackles this problem. In order to reach the gained target a competence-profile model (VQTS – Vocational Qualification Transfer System) should be developed for the tourism area (cook, hotel and restaurant assistant) to describe the relevant key-competences. These key-competences should be regarded in perspective of the fields of activity and their development.

The classification of the ECVET-credit points should establish a meaningful profile of a person and its competences and qualifications. This model should be field-tested in a mobility program.
