1. What is Quality?
• There is no uniform definition of „Quality“!

Quality = fulfilment of requirements
What Levels of Quality do we have to Distinguish in the Field of TVET?
– Level of Interactions: quality in teaching/training and learning
– Level of Institution: quality of the institution
– Level of the System: quality of the TVET system
What Scopes of Quality can be distinguished?
• Input:- resources- (legal) guidelines
• Process:- core processes of TVET
• Output/Outcome:- results
2. What are the Functions of a Quality Management System (QMS)?
