Dual VET standards: training regulations and framework curricula
Here you can find documents that may be helpful when working with VET standards. We provide examples of translated training regulations and framework curricula in English, German and Spanish.
The provided translations are standards used for VET in the Dual VET system of Germany. The standards are “dual” in the sense that there is for each occupation, on the one hand, a standard for the provision of in-company VET defined in so-called training regulations and, on the other hand, a standard for school-based VET defined in so-called framework curriculum. Training regulations are a combination of occupational profile, training standard and examination standard. They define among other things: name of training occupation, duration of training, competencies acquired in the frame of training, training plan as well as examination requirements. Training regulations are a result of consensus-based institutionalized bargaining processes among stakeholders from the business, from society and from government. They are based on the specific requirements of business community and of society in Germany and are an expression of historically evolved VET structures in the country. Framework curricula are the basis for vocational education at VET schools and are closely coordinated with training regulations. Dual VET standards are an example for the quality features of VET in Germany:
Cooperation of government and industry
Learning within the work process
Acceptance of national standards
Institutionalised research and consultation
Qualified vocational education and training staff
The provided standards are therefore not transferable one-to-one to other countries. They may be used for the illustration of functions, contents and development processes of VET standards for in-company VET in the German Dual VET system. They must not serve as blueprints for VET standards in other countries, isolated from country-specific conditions and institutional development processes. Every country should build own capacities for developing and updating training standards and ultimately define its own standards. For such capacity development, German VET cooperation is the competent partner.

Cross occupational competencies in Germany. Translation of the modules for cross occupational competencies in the German Dual System of vocational education and training (PDF, 1.4 MB)
The standard occupational profile items apply cross-professionally to all 326 training occupations. GOVET offers an overview in Arabic, German, English, Hebrew, Russian and Spanish.
This is a template for an initial training contract in German and English, as recommended by the Main Board of BIBB. This template is not one-to-one transferable to other countries, but may be used as illustration of the importance of such a standard and how a contract could be designed.
