Why M-CARE?
• European people with disabilities depend heavily on personal care givers (PCGs).
• Ensuring a daily quality of life is still quantitatively and qualitatively a huge problem.

Why M-CARE?
• Lack of existing proper training courses
• The impact of this will be pan-European (VET, ICT driven), and immediately measurable in increased PCG employment.

What is M-CARE?
• M-CARE provides the training framework covering all types of disabilities and content for low skilled people to become employed personal caregivers.

Direct twofold effect:
• low skilled people will gain skills needed to undertake the PCG job
• while the beneficiaries (PwD) will benefit from improved PCG service provision.
• requires a strict assessment to ensure that the candidates are competent and can meet the requirements of a PCG job (online pre- and post self-assessment)
implementing inductive approach (started with the specifics) = Curriculum model (Taba H.(1962) model): • Identify the needs of staff (what are current gaps in the staff
knowledge) • Develop objectives • Choose content that matches the objectives • Organise content considering the learners experiences and
background • Select instructional method that promotes trainees
engagement • Organise learning activities • Checking for the balance and sequence
Our approach:
Our approach: The M-CARE curriculum is designed on the basis of the following principles: • Challenge and enjoyment • Breadth (broad scope) • Progression • Depth • Coherence • Personalisation and choice • Relevance
To benefit from M-CARE course the following is expected:
• Regular attendance and participation (blended learning approach)
• Satisfactory performance on assessments through dedicated pre-, post- and self-assessment tools covering all training modules
• Following curriculum approach
• Achievement of learning outcomes

• EQF levels 2 (Bulgaria, Greece) – level 3 (Belgium)
• Very detailed and complete description which Knowledge, Skills and Competences
• Participant may achieve the above
– when following the M-Care-course modules
– passing the M-Care-assessment process
– embedded M-Care-quizzes

ECVET - European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training
• a technical framework for the transfer, recognition and, where appropriate, accumulation of individuals’ learning outcomes with a view to achieving a qualification
• description of qualifications in terms of units of learning outcomes with associated points, a transfer and accumulation process and complementary documents
Modules and Units
Definition “Unit” • Unit of learning outcomes means a component of a qualification,
consisting of a coherent set of knowledge, skills and competence, which can be assessed and validated.
Definition “Module” • Modules are a coherent bundle of learning-units bound together
under a common subject matter. They allow the learners to choose when and in which order they will pass a certain subject and to follow the needs in their job, so they don’t have to follow their course straight-line but more flexibly.
Unit of learning outcomes means a component of a qualification, consisting of a coherent set of knowledge, skills and competences,
that can be assessed and validated
