Kuressaare Ametikool was awarded the Erasmus Accreditation Excellence Label in recognition of the high quality of Erasmus+ mobility in the organisation of the last two mobility projects.

"Jobs on Trial" is a simulation of a court hearing with the aim of getting participants to think about an occupation and to challenge preconceptions about it. This spring we will try it out with restaurant professionals.

Created in France and used with different professions, we are developing the method in the Erasmus+ project Pathway to Hospitality, which aims to help alleviate the pan-European labour crisis in the hotel and restaurant sector.

The accreditation is a proof of high quality in international co-operation and guarantees funding for mobility projects for next seven years.

Accreditation is a EU-wide quality token. Same criteria were used all over Europe to evaluate applicants.

“Accreditation is a quality mark for our partners,” said Ave Paaskivi, the project manager for school. “We will look same quality from our partners.”

Accreditation will replace VET mobility charter of the EU.

At Kuressaare Ametikool we knew before that international activities are important for the improvement of vocational education and training.

The first year of the project with endless hours online meetings has clarified this even more. It has also clarified that we do a lot of internationalization that we don't label as such.

Estonian partners of From a Rookie to an Expert project from Kuressaare Ametikool had interesting interviews with experienced teachers and project managers from several VET schools.
