Netinvet network Information

NETINVET is a European network of schools, training centres and professional organisations. It promotes recognised mobility in Europe for learners in vocational training programmes in the sectors of International Trade and Transport & Logistics by establishing mutual trust between the members and developing various tools to facilitate organisation of the mobility. Initiated in May 2011, the NETINVET network has already come a long way. It is currently composed of more than 90 schools and training centres from 13 European countries (Belgium, Croatia, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Spain and the UK - Northern Ireland), conducting over 600 mobility operations a year within the network. Moreover, this latter is actively supported by five professional organisations: CGI, AFT and ANFA in France, S-BB in the Netherlands and CPV in Italy. By integrating the ECVET process (European Credit system for Vocational Education and Training), NETINVET favours and encourages recognised mobility. The implementation of shared references, integrated and approved by the network members, enables the transfer and validation of units of learning outcomes accomplished within the framework of academic mobility and/or a work placement abroad. Thus, the learner will not need to validate the knowledge and the skills acquired during his/her mobility experience a second time. The mutual trust established between the members since the creation of NETINVET, is a powerful driver of these efforts. The network also applies a quality approach as another key element, allowing for the integration of new members and ensuring consistent quality based on two charters. The first is intended for training centres and must be signed and recognised upon joining the network. The second is intended for companies hosting international trainees and mainly sets out the conditions required to be able to organise work placements within NETINVET.
