As a way to promote long-life learning and the citizens’ access to training paths in accordance to their needs, motivations and expectations, the CQEP centre (a Centre for Qualification and Vocational Training) identifies and promotes information about the different educational and training programmes available in Porto area to respond to qualification needs.
CQEP offers information and guidance to youngsters and adults looking for school education, vocational training or both and to those who want a skilled integration in the labour market. On the other hand, it provides information and promotion actions among VET providers and local employers.
Regarding the recognition, validation and certification of competences (RVCC), both academic and/or vocational, acquired by adults throughout their lives, by formal, informal and non-formal ways, CQEP handles all process operations according to RVCC benchmarks available in the National Qualifications Catalogue, in close articulation with other education and training offers available.
