## Output 1 European professional profile for Aquaculture EQF level 4 and 5.

Output:
- 1 description of a professional profile for aquaculture EQF level 4
- 1 description of a professional profile for aquaculture EQF level 5

Two preparatory deliveries, necessary to develop the output
- 1 Digital available training program to create a common mind-set on knowledge and skills required
to design professional profiles, international learning units and assessments
- 1 training program executed for all project partners

European job profiles are being developed for EQF level 4 and 5. These profiles describe, the
competences, knowledge and skills, so that the employees in the professional field can function at
the desired level. The complexity, autonomy and responsibility of tasks in aquaculture at level 4 and 5
are reflected in the European profile description, corresponding with the EQF descriptors. The
description is such that local knowledge and skills can be adapted.
These descriptions need to be recognizable by industry in a national context, and will be applied at a
common European level. The European job profiles are described in such a way that the local
knowledge and skills can be incorporated in the curriculum.
The starting points for describing the job profiles are the European objectives for Aquaculture and the
Sustainability Development Goals of the UN.

The European professional profiles, the international learning units and assessments are developed
and described according to EQF, ECVET, ECT, EQAVET and outcome-based learning principles.
These principles are essential for quality of the development of common European education. In this
Output (O1) a training program will be developed and provided to partners to ensure all partners
have the knowledge and skills required to design professional profiles, international learning units
and assessments. Key point of the training program is that the EQF descriptors provide a description
of the autonomy, responsibility and complexity of the different roles in the professional profiles.
The training program will focus on the following subjects:
- Developing a common working and learning community
- Developing a mind-set on EQF and the use of EQF for descriptions of professional profiles
- Developing a mind-set ECTS, ECVET and EQAVET, ENQUA
- Implementation of 21th century skills in the professional profiles and learning units
- Understanding the principles of outcome based learning implemented in the professional profiles
- Use of Blooms’ taxonomy and revised taxonomy of Krathwohl's for the description of competences
in the professional profiles and to write effective learning objectives
- Trusting qualifications and assessments in Europe
- Introduction and implementation of formats for the development of International learning units and assessments
