Memorandum Of Understanding Template 1 (Job Service/VET provider)
Improving Mobility and Career Paths for Personal
Care and Social Workers
With the support of the Lifelong
Learning Programme from the European Union
This project has been funded with support from the
European Commission. This publication reflects the views
only of the authors, and the Commission cannot be held

This Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) is intended to be an agreement between job
services and VET agencies providing training for the qualifications taken into account by
the I CARE project, and aiming to set the framework for credit transfer.
The MoU formalises the ECVET partnership by stating the mutual acceptance of the
procedures for assessing competences coherently with the I CARE model. The MoU can
be signed either by a network of competent institutions (job services, VET agencies) from
different countries, or on a bilateral basis.
The MoU forms the framework for cooperation between competent institutions. In these
case, job services and VET agencies agree to use the same tools (matrix of competence,
test, correspondence table between matrix and test) for assessing the competences
acquired by the candidate in their previous professional experience. The corresponding
Units of Learning outcomes can be automatically recognised by the training agency as
already acquired, and the training path leading to the qualification could be shortened
accordingly.

1. Assessment
Since both technical contents and communication skills are important in socio-
medical professions, the assessors should be a professional of great experience, able
to adequately assess the competence of the candidate.
As regards the Socio-Assistance Assistant, the Care Operator and the Family
Assistant profiles, two assessors are required:
• A professional nurse having at least five years of working experience
• A psychologist/social worker having at least five years of working experience.
As regards the Baby Sitter profile is required one assessor: a nursery school teacher
having at least five years of working experience.
As regards the Dental Assistant profile is required one assessor: a professional Dental
Assistant having at least five years of working experience.
The assessment consists of:
1. Simulation → the candidate must simulate with the help of a dummy and the
required equipment some key actions for the care of the assisted person
2. Oral questions → The candidate is often asked to describe the actions he/she
would perform without simulating them in front of the assessor
3. Written test → the candidate must answer some multiple choice questions on
topics that do not need to be assessed with a simulation, or questions that aim
to get deeper into aspects that are only hinted at in the practical test.
In case of mobility from one country to another, language competences (national
language of the hosting country) will be assessed.
Assessment tools
• Test relating to the relevant qualification
2. Validation
A transcript of assessed competences is included in the I CARE test.
4. Recognition
The recognition of the outcomes of Learning Units will be done by job services
(according to the national rules) and certified through an official document
(depending on the national system).
