The pilot project on the development and testing of mechanisms for using an independent assessment of qualifications for intermediate and state final certification of students completing their studies at secondary vocational education institutions is implemented in Tatarstan. On these days, June 22-23, 2020 the Council for Professional Qualifications in the field of welding has organized a professional examination for the qualification “Welder of arc welding with a fusion coated electrode (2nd level of qualification)” in Nizhnekamsk.
7 students of the 4th course of the College of Petrochemistry and Oil Refining named after N.V. Lemaev pass the theoretical and practical parts of the professional exam, associated with the state final certification. Graduates who successfully complete this procedure will receive two documents: a diploma of education and a certificate of professional qualification.
It should be noted that during the year, the project involves educational institutions of Tatarstan, industry Councils for professional qualifications, the National Agency for the Qualifications Development, the Ministry of Digital Development of Public Administration, Information Technologies and Communications of the Republic of Tatarstan and Technopark “Idea”.
Within the framework of the agreement, Technopark “Idea” provides organizational support for the implementation of the pilot project, methodological and consulting support for the participants, and coordination of their activities. It also analyzes and summarizes the experience of evaluating qualifications during the intermediate and state final certification of students in secondary vocational education programs in the Republic of Tatarstan.
The purpose of the pilot project is to disseminate the practice of conducting intermediate certification and state final attestation with the use of the independent qualification assessment and to formulate a program for large-scale implementation of project results for the period 2020 - 2025.
