What are competence badges?

Digital competence badges are a visual way of demonstrating competence that has been acquired prior to vocational teacher education or during the studies. Competence badges related to teaching practice describe what kind of competence you should develop and demonstrate in relation to the competence requirements and competence criteria of the vocational teacher education program. Competence badges describe the ways in which you can demonstrate your competence. The aim is to concretize what kind of examples and evidence you should provide in order to demonstrate your competence. Your own tutor will assess your demonstration based on the evidence you provide in your application. S/he will issue the badge, when your submission meets the criteria.
