Abstract

The LEONARDO DA VINCI Transfer of Innovation project CrediCare, which involved partners from Estonia, Finland, France, Germany and Ireland, aimed at the transnational implementation and testing of a procedure for the description, level assessment and comparison of learning outcomes in the sector of health care and nursing. The project activities were based on the toolkit of the equivalence check method, i.e. the Module Level Indicator (MLI) and the Learning Outcome Matrix (LOM). The two instruments make it possible to analyse the contents of vocational learning outcomes and to determine their levels according to the reference levels of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). Moreover, the learning outcomes serve as the basis for bilateral comparisons of selected qualifications in nursing. This Chapter examines a comparison of the French and Irish Nursing Degree as well as the results of level assessments and forms part of a larger volume from the other partners.
