Vocational training in illicit drug addiction: Equipping health care practitioners with addiction treatment competences and techniques” (CARE4SUD)
Erasmus + project
2022-1-LT01-KA220-VET-000086077
Work package n°3 (wp 3) – Design and development of a competence based transnational capacity building VET curricula for health care practitioners interested in illicit drug addiction (CARE4SUD curricula).
AIM of WP 3:
Based on the skill needs identified following the interviews with patients and focus groups with drug addiction specialists from work package n°2, the project partners described the learning outcomes for the future CARE4SUD training. These will correspond to statements of what illicit drug addiction professionals should know, understand and be able to do upon completion of the training course.
The Care4SUD Learning outcomes will serve as a guide for educators and learners, helping to clarify expectations, design assessments, and evaluate the effectiveness of the learning experience.
In this project the learning outcomes are divided into:
Knowledge: it refers to the specific information, facts, concepts, theories, or principles that learners will acquire through the learning activity. It includes understanding and comprehension of subject matter or content.
Skills: focuses on the abilities and practical application of knowledge that learners will develop. Skills involve the capacity to perform specific tasks or activities, often through practice and hands-on experience.
Competences are a combination of knowledge, skills, abilities, and behaviors that individuals demonstrate in a particular context or job role. Competences often reflect a blend of cognitive (knowledge-based) and behavioral (skills-based) attributes crucial for successful performance in a particular role or situation.
The learning outcomes for the profession of an illicit drug addiction counsellor will be defined in the project according to the EQF level 5[1].
EQF level 5 qualifications are characterized by intermediate skills and knowledge. They typically require learners to have completed secondary education or have a similar level of education and provide them with the competence to work independently in a specific field or undertake further education.
