How can Vocational Education and Training (VET) institutions maintain high standards and continuously improve the quality of their educational provision?

Explore how effective Quality Assurance (QA) systems, regulatory compliance, internal audits and self-assessment can help VET organisations evaluate their performance, identify areas for improvement and enhance the quality of education and training.

Discover how continuous improvement tools, such as the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle, root cause analysis and benchmarking, can support evidence-based decision-making, strengthen collaboration and drive positive change.

Second Local RPL Network Meeting: Building Bridges Between Academia and Industry 🤝
The MFHEA Validation Team hosted the second meeting of the Local RPL Network on 28 October 2026, bringing together its members to continue shaping how Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) can work better in Malta.

The meeting opened with a presentation on the Horizon project, which will see academic institutions working hand in hand with the textile industry, mostly SMEs, through a secondment model. It sparked a rich conversation on how to bridge the gap between education and the realities of the workforce.

Some key takeaways:
✅ Trust and clear boundaries between industry and academia are essential
✅ lifelong learning is not the sole responsibility of one entity or a particular sector in society but it is a duty and responsibility of all stakeholders within the community, and everyone has a part to play
✅ Employers’ concerns about investing in upskilling need to be heard and addressed

We also reflected on the progress of the first three months: the Teams channel is up and running, the Terms of Reference are finalised, and the RPL survey has been circulated. The survey analysis will guide our next steps.

Looking ahead, European RPL Week runs from 9th to 13th November, with the main conference on 12th November. The network is also working towards an official launch by June 2027.

Thank you to all our network members for such a constructive discussion. 👏

Myth or fact? Let's clear things up.

When it comes to qualifications, accreditation and recognition, there's a lot of "I heard that…" going around. Some of it is true. Some of it really isn't.

In this carousel, we tackle four common misconceptions.

Can you tell the myths from the facts before you swipe?

On 27 October 2026, the Malta Further and Higher Education Authority (MFHEA) hosted the event Passporting Academic Qualifications: The Role of the EQF and NQFs in the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), bringing together stakeholders to exchange knowledge, discuss current recognition practices, and explore the role of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs) in the recognition of academic qualifications across the EHEA.

The event provided an opportunity to examine the role of recognition authorities, the challenges of consistent recognition across jurisdictions, and the practical application of qualifications frameworks by international institutions, employers and skills authorities. Discussions also addressed legal and governance considerations, followed by breakout sessions exploring recognition passporting, trust and the future of recognition.

The event was linked to the Erasmus+ project QUATRA.

From accreditation and recognition to MQF levels and Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL), understanding the facts can help you make more informed decisions about your education and future.

Before enrolling in a course, take the time to check what the programme offers, whether it is accredited, and what your qualification actually represents.
