NEED  AND  ADDED  VALUE  FOR  THE  DANUBE  REGION  STRATEGY

The EU Directive 2017/2397 has to be implemented by 2022 in all EU member states. One of the objectives of the directive is that irrespective of the Member State in which the qualification is achieved, the inland navigation sector can count on crews possessing the competencies prescribed in the annexes of the directive. In order to achieve this, curricula and lesson materials need to be aligned among the nautical education institutes and respective quality control systems need to be established.

 

OBJECTIVE(S)  OF  THE  PROJECT

Within COMPETING fifteen partners from eight different EU member states will develop curricula and lesson materials, as well as a Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) system, to ensure the highest level of quality concerning the implementation of future proof IWT education and training throughout the EU.

 

The developments in this project will in the end result in the implementation of EU legislation (EU Directive 2017/2397), resulting in a comparable system for recognition of educational programmes and properly qualified crew with the possession of a Union certificate.

 

CONDUCTED  AND  PLANNED  PROJECT  ACTIVITIES

Work package 2 and 5 deal with project management and dissemination.

 

The main objective of work package 3 is to develop curricula and lesson materials for model courses addressed to inland navigation personnel, based on the provisions of EU Directive 2017/2397 and CESNI Standards for competence for operational and management level.

 

The aim of work package 4 within the COMPETING project is to develop a Quality Assurance (QA) and a Quality Control (QC) system to ensure, to assure and to control the highest level of quality concerning the implementation of future proof IWT Education and Training throughout the EU.
