LEVEL5

Support offer

LEVEL5 is a methodology for proving competence developments.

The LEVEL5 system supports the planning, implementation and validation of competence- and situation-oriented learning.

LEVEL5 is based on the definition that a competence is the ability of a person to apply knowledge, skills and attitudes in a specific context and, in particular, in a specific quality.

Effective learning in formal and non-formal learning contexts requires innovative learning approaches that promote tailor-made, needs-based and situational learning for the integrated development and validation of these skills and competences.
