Introduction This document is the final report of Working Package 4 within the ECGFA NET II project, aimed to show the Sectoral Qualification Framework for Coast Guard Functions final structure, as developed in the framework of the project named “Development of a Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Coast Guard Functions - ECGFA-Net II”, a three stage implementation project, co-financed by the European Commission1.

The report was drafted by the Italian Coast Guard, with the support of CIMEA. The addressees of the document are all the different stakeholders, interested in the Coast Guard Functions in Europe and outside.

The document is divided in two parts. The first one is aimed to present the methodology adopted in the first two different phases of the project and the different actors involved, with a clear description of their roles and the expected results. The second part of the document shows the first draft grid of the Sectoral Qualification Framework to be shared with the stakeholders for collecting their contributions. For each Coast Guard Function a summary and a detailed table is available, with the corresponding learning outcomes.

1 European Coast Guard Functions Academy Network for European Sectorial Qualifications Framework for Coast Guarding – ECGFA-Net: http://egov.yen.gr/pages/61-ecgfa-net-fact-sheet

Background The ‘Blue Paper’ on a European Union Maritime Policy2 - adopted by the European Commission in October 2007 and supported by numerous conclusions of the Council of the European Union and resolutions of the European Parliament3 - promotes enhanced cross- border and cross-sectoral cooperation between all actors involved in maritime activities. Integrating maritime surveillance, one of the key strands of the integrated maritime policy, does not only serve that purpose but is also considered a necessity with a view to ensuring safer, more secure and cleaner seas.

The European Maritime Security Strategy4, adopted by the Council of Ministers in June 2014 on the basis of a proposal, put forward by the Commission and the European External Action Service (EEAS) in March 2014, foresees the need for deeper cooperation between the European Coast Guard Functions in many areas, including education and training.

The Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) of the European Commission launched in November 2014 a Grant agreement for an action to establish a European Coast Guard Functions Academy Network5. The purpose of this Network was to network Coast Guard training and Education in Europe.

Coast Guard Functional activities, as defined by the European Coast Guard Functions Forum (ECGFF)6, cover maritime safety (including vessel traffic management); maritime security; maritime customs activities; prevention and suppression of trafficking and smuggling and connected maritime law enforcement; maritime border control; maritime surveillance; protection of marine environment and response; search and rescue; accident and disaster response; fisheries control; and other activities related to the above Coast Guard Functions.

The European Union and its Member States are developing the future policy on integrated and cooperative maritime surveillance with all the above-mentioned sectors. One single authority can in fact not handle increasing information flows and manage the needs for multiple actions at sea. Therefore sectors need to work closer together in order to make maritime safety and security activities more coherent, and cost efficient. Such co-operation will improve co-ordination, maritime governance and a wider co-use of scattered multiple surveillance systems.

In addition, more aligned requirements should be developed for educational institutions of the different coast guard functions and actors in the maritime domain in order to create a joint ‘European Coast Guard approach’.

Such cross-sectoral approach includes academic, educational and training functions in order to increase knowledge based capability building, effectiveness and efficiency of operations at sea. The intention is in other words to do more with less, and to fully exploit the potential of the Integrated Maritime Policy.

The current Coast Guard education systems are custom made for national professional organizational purposes, and they do not include Bologna Process post-graduates and post- doctoral levels of education, thus leaving a loop hole in the system.

The European Qualifications Framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF LLL)7 has recommended that organisations working at EU level should use the reference levels and principles of the EQF in order to design coordinated training and qualification standards.

EQF has indicated that such harmonisation should take place through the development of sectoral qualification frameworks (SQFs) such as Coast Guard Functions cooperation.

This will increase the employability, mobility and social integration and lifelong learning of Coast Guard officials. In particular, the EQF recommended that SQFs should be developed by ‘facilitating cooperation, exchanging good practice and testing – inter alia through voluntary peer review and pilot projects under Community programmes, by launching information and consultation exercises with social dialogue committees - and developing support and guidance material’.

Part I: ECGFA – Net project Chapter I: ECGFA – Net project overview.

1 – ECGFA-Net objectives and partners The project, promoted in the framework of the European Coast Guard Functions Forum (ECGFF) and co-financed by the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF), aims at strengthening international collaboration on training and at creating a network of academies and training institutions for Coast Guard functions. Objectives of the project are to:  support the establishment of a European Coast Guard Functions Academies Network that would strengthen cooperation between CGF authorities;  increase student and expert exchange between CG authorities and academies;  design and construct a Training Portal website;  plan, design and develop the structure for a voluntary CGFSQF;  follow the specifications of the European Qualification Framework (EQF) for harmonising and improving educational collaboration and student/expert mobility. The European Coast Guard Functions Academy Network (ECGFA NET) phase II (ECGFA NET-II) is coordinated by the Finnish Border Guard and involves nineteen organizations of ten EU Member States working in the field of Coast Guard Functions. Four EU Agencies participate in the project as observers: The European Fisheries Agency (EFCA), The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), The European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) and The Fundament Rights Agency of the European Union (FRA).

2 – SQF Goals and objectives The Sectoral Qualification Framework for Coast Guard Functions (CGFSQF) constitutes an added value for sectoral authorities working towards safer and more secure seas.

In fact, the framework has the potential to increase the levels of interoperability, which is needed to face maritime related risks and threats in a more consistent way. Implementing such co-operation will require an open study and common mechanisms, which the Framework can provide.

This possible development of the CGFSQF is not aimed to dictate national training requirements; it includes all national requirements and is, therefore, inclusive and not prescriptive. The SQF should support the review and accreditation of programmes, and should facilitate the formal recognition of other types of learning, such as ‘on the job’ learning. It should also assist in the development or updating of national occupational standards for Coast Guards. The CGFSQF should also support the dissemination within Member States of best training practices and/or provide key recommendations.

The CGFSQF can be also considered a useful tool to set up actions to promote cross- border training within the EU and with other countries, both for initial and on-going training. The development of an Erasmus-like training program for Coast Guard personnel can be facilitated by a common framework of training and qualifications. Interoperability and cooperation between national Coast Guard authorities will highly benefit from training periods abroad.

The CGFSQF would constitute an added value for sectoral authorities working towards a safer and more secure maritime domain.

Cross sectoral and regional research and development will improve the communication between these authorities, which in turn will open up new forms of cooperation, thus leading towards better co-operation in areas such as common awareness, risk and threat management, preparation against disasters, joint capacity building, resource pooling etc. In other words, the framework has the potential to increase the levels of interoperability which

is needed to face maritime related risks and threats in a more coherent manner. Implementing such co-operation will require an open study and common mechanisms, which the Framework can provide.

According to the Terms of Reference8 drafted by the Commission, the CGFSQF should:

 encompass all qualification levels acquired in general, vocational and academic education and training in the field of Coast Guard activities;  be developed on the basis of an extensive job mapping (identification of the competence profiles/job profiles/qualifications) for all Coast Guard tasks at all levels, with the ultimate aim to close the gap between theory and practice and ensure that all training courses developed are operationally relevant;  include all national requirements and is, therefore, inclusive and not prescriptive - the intention of the CGFSQF is not to dictate national training requirements;  support the review and accreditation of programmes;  facilitate the formal recognition of other types of learning, such as ‘on the job’ learning;  assist in the development or updating of national occupational standards for Coast Guards;  support the dissemination within Member States of best training practices and/or provide key recommendations.

3 – SQF Constraints and assumptions According to the Terms of Reference, as amended in the 6th ECGFF Plenary Conference - Civitavecchia September 2014, the ECGFF identified the following Coast Guard Functions: 1. maritime safety, including vessel traffic management 2. maritime, ship and port security 3. maritime customs activities 4. the prevention and suppression of trafficking and smuggling and connected maritime law enforcement 5. maritime border control 6. maritime monitoring and surveillance 7. maritime environmental protection and response 8. maritime search and rescue 9. ship casualty and maritime assistance service 10. maritime accident and disaster response 11. fisheries inspection and control; and

12. activities related to the above Coast Guard Functions The maritime border control function (n. 5) was not explored, as the relative SQF built up by Frontex initiative. Furthermore, the last listed function (n. 12, activities related to the above Coast Guard Functions) was not considered, because it is too wide and not a well definable function. The following assumptions have been made in the implementation of the project activities.  In the field of Coast Guard functions training and education, several initiatives have already been undertaken by the competent Agencies, which will be useful for the work of the project in this sector.  The Sectoral Qualification Framework (SQF) for Border Guard, developed by Frontex, is a useful example of SQF in the field of Coast Guard Functions and its methodology can be considered a basis for similar initiatives in Coast Guard Functional activities (CGF activities).  The CGF activities are not always well defined according to EU/International rules and cannot always be linked to any EU Agencies.  The list of Coast CGF activities – adopted by the European Coast Guard Functions Forum (ECGFF)9 - is considered the best available one at EU level but, at the same time, the Forum doesn’t hold detailed descriptions of the content and boundaries of such activities.  The support of the affiliated partners in the development of the WP4 work is a key element in order to design a complete framework of information related to the basic element for CGFSQF.  The support of the ECGFF Members (other than the affiliated partners) is essential to map the national contexts and assure the expected results of the project.

4 – Work Package 4 (WP4) A specific Work Package (WP4) was foreseen to develop the structure of a Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualification Frameworks (CGFSQF), consistent with the Bologna and Copenhagen processes. During the first phase of the ECGFA-Net Project, WP4 has drafted “Basic elements and Key Recommendations for the development of ECGFSQF”10. During the second phase (from 1 October 2016 to 31 December 2017) of ECGFA-Net Project, the role of WP4 was divided in two main tasks:  to identify different players and the working plan to develop the CGFSQF;  to develop the CGFSQF structure.

In this framework, the the work package 4 is coordinated by the Italian Coast Guard. CIMEA was an appointed external expert for the project implementation (on the basis of a Call for tenders) and it supported the activities, on the basis of its sectoral competences on Qualification Frameworks. For the development of the CGFSQF structure their role was shared with a list of identified experts in training activities for Coast Guard Functions, named “Sectoral Qualification Framework Experts” (SQF Experts). Some Coast Guard authorities and some European Agencies (EFCA, EMSA, FRA, Frontex) were involved as observers, in order to collect their suggestions and contributions during the implementation of the project. All the mentioned organisations (Italian Coast Guard as WP4 leader, SQF Experts, Observers, CIMEA) constitute the SQF Working Group Members. The active involvement of all of them was crucial, in order to share the strategic decisions to build a useful CGFSQF.

5 – ECGFA-Net working methodology During the first phase of the ECGFA-Net project a methodology for the development of the Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualifications Frameworks was implemented. On the basis of the agreed procedure, the following seven steps were identified, in order to implement the Sectoral Qualification Framework. On the basis of the budget and the time available, the steps were divided in three consecutive phases. Thanks to this first phase we could identify the nature, the purposes and the goals of the future CGFSQF and share those with all the institutional partners of the project. During the second phase we implemented the results and finalized the first grid for the Sectoral Qualification Framework. In the third phase, we will check and eventually readjust the grid, thanks to the contributions of the stakeholders and the adoption of quality assurance tools. Finally, the SQF should be adopted and disseminated.

Chapter II: ECGFA – Net project report of phase II

1 – Official Bodies involved a. Identification of Stakeholders

It was important to draft a list with different stakeholders involved at national and international level that will be useful to validate - or to suggest changes – in the structure of the CGFSQF drafted by the WG. Those institutions and bodies will play a fundamental role during the consultation phase (see Third Phase - Stage 6). The list includes all the final users of the CGFSQF at national and international institutions and bodies operating within Member States (See “List of CGFSQF stakeholders” in Annex 1).

b. Identification of SQF working group

The Italian Coast Guard coordinated the establishment of the SQF working group and identified one expert for each function, asking for the support of the Coast Guard authorities involved in the project. The appointed experts fulfilled their role as detailed in the following paragraph “Role of the SQF Experts”. The observers were informed about mutual work progresses and they participated in all the working meetings. CIMEA assisted the Italian coordinator and drafted the supporting guidelines. The representatives of the Agencies (EFCA, EMSA, FRA, FRONTEX) provided for their advises on the basis of their competencies.

2 – Development of the CGF SQF structure a. Architecture of the SQF

In the framework of the development of the CGFSQF structure, the SQF Working Group Members were in charge of defining the architecture of the CGFSQF, starting from the results of the first year of the ECGFA-Net project and taking into account all the suggestions proposed in the drafted “Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualification Framework: Basic Elements, key recommendations and methodology”.

As previously agreed, the framework was based on qualifications for different “functions” as an entering point, considering the achieved results thanks to the two questionnaires produced during the first phase. It is also in line with the final product we are going to realise: a Coast Guard “Functions” SQF.

For each of the ten investigated functions, we explored the tasks, considering that a detailed framework should maximize its utility to identify the learning outcomes (Knowledge, Skill, Competences) for the existing professional positions/areas of responsibility and

facilitate the mobility for Coast Guard personnel.

The results are shown in the detailed and summary tables in part 2. This architecture is suitable to guarantee accordant contributions, considering that the questionnaires submitted during the first phase of the project showed a good level of sharing on the identified tasks in the European Coast Guard Authorities. We wanted to use the collected results in order to identify a common core of the Coast Guard tasks for each function and facilitate the comparability of the national systems.

As defined, this SQF architecture is the starting model that could be updated in the future, with a cyclic revision process, according to the evolution of employment needs of each function.

b. Implementation activities 1) Mapping different qualifications To have an idea about the final qualifications that will be referenced to the framework by each country, the WG partners conducted a mapping exercise on qualifications to analyse different educational and training systems in the Member States. This activity was introductory to define the number of levels. We identified the learning areas for each task, in the ten investigated functions. We inserted the data at our disposal (tasks, job profiles, learning areas) in an on-line questionnaire (see Annex 3 for mapped qualifications). It was addressed to the different educational bodies operating within each Member State, in order to obtain the official list of qualifications awarded at national level, with details about entry requirements and final educational and professional rights for each awarded qualification. The structure of the tool was clearly addressed to collect information about the national management of the Coast Guard tasks, looking at the asked pre-requirements and qualifications in order to participate in the fulfilment of the various functions.

The questionnaire also investigated learning areas (what you have to know in order to perform a specific task) and entrance requirements (prior educational and professional learning) in order to help in defining levels of Sectoral qualification frameworks and writing Learning Outcomes (See “Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualification Framework: Basic Elements, key recommendations and methodology”).

2) Identification of number of levels The study visits conducted during the first phase of the ECGFA-Net project, gave us an idea about the level of existing qualifications within the four different educational systems analysed (Finland, Germany, Italy and Spain) and their connections with EQF levels. In all those cases, we have qualifications that are placed from EQF level 4 to EQF level 7. Those results were also confirmed for the other Member States answering to the above mentioned questionnaire and our CGFSQF was structured on four main levels. Their correspondence with the European Qualification Framework will be indicated, in accordance with the entrance requirements asked for the various job profiles. An analysis of the mapping qualifications’

results was carried out and a proposal of SQF levels was drafted by SQF WG Experts in order to define SQF levels of the final structure and revised by WP 4 SQF leader.

Starting from the entrance requirements and mapped qualifications emerged as questionnaire results and on the basis of his professional experience, each expert identified the number of the levels for each task of the entrusted CG function. Four level descriptors were identified, in order to explain how to place the various professional positions/tasks in the different levels. Please note that the choice of four levels is based on the field research carried out in the framework of the ECGFA-NET project. Taking into account the peculiarities of each function, the SQF experts reduced the number of levels on the basis of the concrete analysis of the various tasks.

The identified levels not always correspond to the job professional positions mapped during phase I project. In VTS, for example, international IALA regulations recognize 4 professional positions (operator, supervisor, manager and OJT Instructor), while the experts identified only two SQF levels according to the defined level descriptors. SQF levels have been identified considering the tasks and the activities performed beneath a function and not regarding professional positions. It has been considered more useful to our purpose to construct the SQF architecture linking knowledge, skills and competences to the activities to be performed rather than to job positions. It could happen in fact, and that is true for VTS, that member States don’t have all the professional positions as described and mapped in phase I, but a same professional position performs different tasks and activities. Referencing and linking L.O. to tasks permit a wide and most comprehensive approach that covers all the different members States realities as mapped with the many questionnaires launched.

Supervisor Leads small groups for basic tasks. Supervision activities Supervises the operators, ensuring the quality of their work.

Manager Manages the organization, leading the personnel and employing resources. Critically evaluates the effectiveness of the work of their subordinates (Operators/Supervisors/Coordinators).

Management activities

3) Drafting of learning outcomes

After defining SQF levels, the SQF Experts drafted general learning outcomes for each identified level, starting from those already defined within the EQF structure and adapted to the specific needs of our Sectoral Framework. The learning outcomes are the expression of what learners are expected to achieve and how they are expected to demonstrate that achievement. The LO are divided in11:

 ‘knowledge’: means the outcome of the assimilation of information through learning. Knowledge is the body of facts, principles, theories and practices that are related to a field of work or study. In the context of the European Qualifications Framework, knowledge is described as theoretical and/or factual;  ‘skills’: means the ability to apply knowledge and use know-how to complete tasks and solve problems. In the context of the European Qualifications Framework, skills are described as cognitive (involving the use of logical, intuitive and creative thinking) or practical (involving manual dexterity and the use of methods, materials, tools and instruments)  ‘competences’: means the proven ability to use knowledge, skills and personal, social and/or methodological abilities, in work or study situations and in professional and personal development. In the context of the European Qualifications Framework, competence is described in terms of responsibility and autonomy

The Agencies interested in the various Coast Guard functions and involved in the project as observers (EFCA, EMSA, Frontex, FRA) were consulted in the drafting activity of the Learning outcomes. Their contributions were considered important, also for the future implementation of the CGFSQF. In particular EFCA suggested for the functions of its competence to reduce the previous four tasks into two. Other experts have done a similar revision (UK expert for function 7 and 9, Spanish Customs for function 3).

Considering that most of the national systems do not have qualifications based on learning outcomes yet, this activity was the longest one and the most challenging as well. Tasks, competences and job profiles identified during the first phase of the ECGFA-Net project, as well as the above mentioned learning areas, were fundamental in order to draft different learning outcomes for each CG function. The appointed SQF Experts were guided in drafting the learning outcomes by dedicated practical Guidelines (Annex 2) and periodic videoconferences, coordinated by the Italian Coast Guard and CIMEA. The SQF Experts also had the possibility to submit queries during all the phases of their job.

As final result, the SQF Experts completed:

11 Source of reference: RECOMMENDATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 23 April 2008 on the establishment of the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning (Annex 1 - Definitions). OJEU 2008/C111/01

 detailed tables for each task, in the framework of the Coast Guard Function assigned to each of them. It is the technical tool that fully describes the Sectoral Qualification Framework, and it needs to be exhaustive and complete;  a summary table for the assigned Function, to give the overview of the learning outcomes identified for each task.

4) Role of the SQF Experts in the implementation activities In the framework of the planned implementation activities, the specific role of the SQF Experts can be summarized as follows:

Analysis of the questionnaire results and their interpretation: once the contributions were collected, the SQF Experts reviewed the questionnaire’s results. They focussed their attention on the main convergences and discrepancies (if existing) in the answers, in order to read the results and have in mind their expected utility, as a basis for the future SQF. They could ask for clarifications to the contributors (if needed).

Involvement of further national experts, if needed: the appointed SQF Experts covered all the investigated Coast Guard functions; They could freely request support from other colleagues at national level.

Analysis of the proposed learning areas (and eventual inclusion of added areas): The learning areas describe what is the field of knowledge necessary to perform a specific task. A wide range of learning areas were identified by the experts involved in ECGFA-Net project II. If needed (on the basis of the questionnaire results), the SQF Experts could verify learning areas and add some for use in the implementation of the SQF grid.

Choice about the architecture of the CGFSQF: the final decision about the most appropriate architecture of the SQF will be asked of the SQF Experts. Their decision will be based on different factors: completeness, utility, sharing of the contents and questionnaire’ results.

Decision about the number of levels: the questionnaire’s results showed the most suitable number of levels to provide a proper picture of the Coast Guard Functions. The SQF Experts read this data jointly with the results of the first phase of ECGFA-Net project and the proposal of levels drafted by CIMEA.

Drafting of the learning outcomes: the main activity the SQF Experts had to perform is the activity to draft the learning outcomes. Their job was facilitated by specific Guidelines for the compiling of learning outcomes, Furthermore, the SQF for border control function could be used as a practical example.

Coordination activities: Periodic videoconferences and ad-hoc meetings were planned, in order to facilitate the coordination of the activities of the SQF Experts and to guarantee an homogeneous result in the drafting of the learning outcomes.

Drafting of the grid: finally, the SQF Experts merged their contributions in the grid and presented the final structure of the CGFSQF. CIMEA finalized the graphic instrument to show the grid.

5) Draft the final structure As the final result of the second stage, all the activities described above contributed to create the final structure of the CGFSQF.

As previously mentioned, the final matrix was composed of different Coast Guard functions as our starting point and for each function, we identified the related tasks and different levels for each task. Each level, representing different job profiles/areas of responsibility, was described in terms of learning outcomes. The Italian Coast Guard, assisted by CIMEA expertise, managed this phase sharing the building process with the SQF Experts. In all the Coast Guard Functions’, general common requirements were identified for Language Skills and Fundamental Rights.

6) Common requirements Foreign languages: During the implementation of ECGFA-NET project the inclusion of common requirements about foreign languages was fully investigated. Firstly, the answers of the questionnaire finalized to identify the job competences, requested to fulfil the tasks, showed the need for a capability to communicate by use of a common vehicular technical language, as established by international legislation. Furthermore, the experts involved in drafting the tables investigated the requested job competences and confirmed the need of minimum requirements for language skills. Finally, EMSA and EFCA (in their role of observers) pointed out the different existing language skill needs in the functions.

The different contributions received showed that:

 English is the most common shared language for communications between the Coast Guard Authorities (for example in Safe Sea Net);  In the implementation of some functions the application of IMO standard marine communication phrases is used (for example, Search and Rescue, VTS);  In the implementation of some other tasks the most spoken language at sea is not English (with reference to Fisheries inspections and controls, for example, there are not such specific legal requirements);  Some national legislations do not allow the Coast guard Authorities to foresee the selection of human resources on the basis of the languages competences.

Considering that the SQFCGF is finalized to implement the internationalisation of the Coast Guard authorities, through mobility and exchanges, the knowledge of English as an independent user (on the basis of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages standard12) is advisable for all the Coast Guard professional positions, in the respect of national and institutional requirements.

12 Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: http://www.cambridgeenglish.org 21

In the implementation of some tasks the knowledge of other languages, different from English, would be advisable in specific areas at sea. Fundamental rights: With the support of the FRA, some common requirements for fundamental rights have been investigated in the framework of the CGF. The following four levels were identified:

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS Respect the fundamental rights of all persons in the context of 1st level: operator pertinent Coast Guard activities. Promote the fundamental rights of all persons in the context of 2nd level: supervisor pertinent Coast Guard activities. Ensure protection and respect for the fundamental rights of all 3rd level: expert persons. Strategically integrate fundamental rights within all aspects of 4th level: manager organizational activities.

Following the proposal suggested by Frontex all experts and EMSA agreed that, at least, level 3 requirement (“ensure protection and respect for the fundamental rights of all persons”) should be granted at any SQF level, for all Coast Guard Functions. For Function n. 10 (Fisheries), EFCA referred to the FAO Port State Measures Agreement which includes a topic on “ethics” as element of a training programme for port State inspectors. This topic was included under the “skills”, “knowledge” and “competences” already provided by EFCA.

3 – SQFCGF Visual Identity From a graphical point of view, a ship’s wheel (already used as logo for the European Coast Guard Functions Training Network) was divided in ten parts/slices. Each of them represents one of the investigated functions. Clicking on each slice, the related tasks are visualized. Entering in one task, a sheet shows the connected learning outcomes for each descriptor. Each graphic version will show its last updating, in order to avoid an improper use of the tool by out-of-date information.

4 – Conclusions Draft SQF. It is important to underline that our matrix is a first draft Sectoral Qualification Framework, based on the project results at the current state of the art for Coast Guard Functions. It should be reviewed, entrusted, adopted and disseminated during the third phase of the project.

Dynamic tool. The final tool will be a dynamic instrument to be continuously monitored and updated by a cyclic revision process - at least every five years - realized on the basis of the changes in legislations and of the evolution of the employment needs. In this framework, as mentioned in the final report of phase I a Governing Board was set up during this phase II. With reference to SQF needs, it can represent the most suitable technical body for reinforcing a dialogue among the various actors participating in the CGFSQF initiative and could play an important role to implement a sustainable tool, not only for its technical competencies to maintain, update and manage the SQF model, together with the respect of quality assurance standards of the SQF, but also to assist the eventual future link between the national Qualification frameworks that will exist and the shared European model.

EU Agencies role. In their role of observers the agencies showed a high interest to accompany the implementation of the SQF and their function will be crucial during the next project phase, addressed to enrich and support the draft with the input of the interested parties.

One framework for each function. During the implementation of the matrix the experts and the interested Agencies pointed out an overlapping in the various tasks and consequently in learning outcomes, split in the various Coast Guard Functions. The main overlapping learning outcomes are: communicational skills, cooperation with national, EU and international partners, that appeared in many of the CG Function investigated. If we read the tables as a whole, some of them are much more specific than others. It is due to the differences in the terms of references to identify the functions at european level. This difference is inherent to the decision to analyse all the different Coast Guard Functions as a whole in a unique framework. At the same time it has not been hidden or avoided, because the analysis was implemented at function level and it will be mostly applied for each function separately. L.O. have been identified considering each different Coast Guard Function as enlisted by the CGForum. This was necessary if considering that there are more than 300 subjects in charge of CG functions in Europe. And any single function had to be investigated and independently described in term of job competences and LOs. For how it concerns the repeated groups of L.O. and on the basis of the drafted learning outcomes, a proposal coming from Frontex was received to further develop the agreed CGFSQF. It will be taken into account during the planning of ECGFA-Net Phase III.

Respect of the EU rules. The result of SQF experts work has confirmed the assumption, made during phase I, that the existence of EU regulation facilitates L.O. writing. The application of such regulations guarantees a common approach even in terms of

knowledge, skills competences required to perform Coast Guard tasks. This has been seen as a fact, for istance, for fisheries, safety and security functions.

Foreign languages. Currently the training for CGF is mainly implemented at national level, according to national laws, by national trainers, in national languages. As investigated during the study visits implemented during the first phase of the project, these factors influenced and limited the internationalisation of the Coast Guard activities. In parallel, during the past a high number of national authorities did not invest in implementing the language competences of the Coast Guard personnel, as not strictly connected with the fulfilment of all the Coast Guard functions. In order to facilitate relationships and exchanges among Coast Guard Authorities, the most common vehicular language is the English language and its knowledge is recommended in order to enable the mobility of Coast Guard personnel. At the same time, for some tasks the knowledge of foreign languages, different from English, which are most spoken language at sea, is important.

Fundamental rights. The inclusion of references for learning outcomes about fundamental rights in the SQFCGF was widely discussed. Its inclusion should be granted for Coast Guard functions.

Practical tips for writing Learning Outcomes Working document for SQF Experts

To the appointed SQF Experts

ECGFA-Net II Project WP4 Practical tips for writing Learning Outcomes

Working document for SQF Experts

148

1. Introduction The scope of this document is to give a practical support to the SQF Experts in drafting the final structure of the Coast guard Functions Sectoral Qualifications Framework (CGFSQF). This instrument has to be read jointly with the Qualifications Questionnaire results and Writing and using learning outcomes: a practical guide, written by Declan Kennedy, Áine Hyland, Norma Ryan, which represent our main term of reference.

The CGFSQF is aimed to support the process of internationalisation of the Coast Guard educational and training sector and, consequently, to facilitate the interoperability among bodies carrying out Coast Guard functions.

2. Background The European Qualifications framework for Lifelong Learning (EQF) has recommended that organisations working at EU level should use the reference levels and principles of the EQF in order to design coordinated training and qualification standards. EQF has indicated that such harmonization should take place through the development of sectoral qualification frameworks (SQFs) such as Coast Guard Functions cooperation. This will increase the employability, mobility and lifelong learning of personnel related to Coast Guard Functions.

The idea to develop a Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualifications Framework (CGFSQF) was launched within the European Coast Guard Functions Forum. Development of the CGFSQF is a multi- year process where the end goal of the CGFSQF is to function as a set of common standards for CGF education to assure quality of training and teaching and to be applied on a voluntary basis.

Starting of the practical work towards the development of the CGFSQF was carried out within the framework of the ECGFA-Net project in Jan 2015 − Feb 2016 under the leadership of the Italian Coast Guard. During the first phase, the basic elements, key recommendations and methodology for the future development of the CGFSQF were defined. As per the recommendations, the works on the development of the CGFSQF is divided into 7 stages.

The follow-up, ECGFA-Net II project in Oct 2017 − Dec 2017 is to advance the development of the Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualifications Framework (CGFSQF) by drafting the final structure of the CGFSQF and by completing stages 2 and 3 out of a total of 7 in the CGFSQF development process. The process starts with the identification of a SQF working group and of different stakeholders at national and international levels, and with the defining of a working plan for the development of the CGFSQF. These are followed with activities such as the mapping of different qualifications, identification of the number of levels, drafting of the learning outcomes and as a last step – drafting of the CGFSQF final structure. The work on the development of the Coast Guard Functions Sectoral Qualifications Framework (CGFSQF) is to finalized and stages 4 to 7 are would be implemented under the under third phase.

3. ECGFA-NET II project The Coast guard Functions Sectoral Qualifications Framework (CGFSQF) should be developed on the 149

basis of an extensive job mapping (identification of the competence profiles/job profiles) for all Coast Guard tasks at all levels, with the ultimate aim to close the gap between theory and practice and ensure that all training courses developed are operationally relevant.

The ECGFA-Net II project has three main objectives. The first one is to develop a fully fledged Sectoral Qualifications Framework for Coast Guard Functions as a set of common standards for education, to be applied on a voluntary basis in order to assure quality of training and teaching. These standards will co-exist with National Qualifications Frameworks and therefore will not dictate national training or reform national education. Agreement among European Coast Guard Functions educational institutions on common quality standards will lead to improved European co-operation in education and training.

The main tool available, useful for the implementation of the CGSQF, is the analysis of the Qualifications Questionnaire results, submitted in the framework ECGFA-Net II project. The purpose of this questionnaire was to map, for each coast guard functions, different qualifications or training courses that have to be reached in order to perform the related tasks and competences. This is useful to have an idea about the final qualifications that will be referenced to the framework by each country.

The questionnaire also investigated learning areas (what you have to know in order to perform a specific task) and entrance requirements (prior learning) in order to help in defining levels of Sectoral qualification frameworks and writing Learning Outcomes.

4. Roles for the implementation of the cgfsqf A specific Work Package (WP4) was foreseen to develop the structure of a CGFSQF, consistent with the Bologna and Copenhagen processes.

In this framework, the Italian Coast Guard coordinates the work package activities. CIMEA is the appointed external expert for the project implementation (on the basis of a Call for tenders) and it supports the activities, on the basis of its sectoral competences on Qualification Frameworks.

For the development of the CGFSQF structure their role is shared with a list of identified experts in training activities for Coast Guard Functions, named “Sectoral Qualification Framework Experts” (SQF Experts). The main role of the SQF Experts is focused on drafting of the learning outcomes for the tasks of each Coast Guard Function and merging the contributions in the grid in order to present the final structure of the CGFSQF.

Some European Agencies (EFCA, EMSA, FRA, Frontex) are involved as observers, in order to give their suggestions and contributions during the implementation of the project.

All the mentioned organisations (Italian Coast Guard as WP4 leader, SQF Experts, Observers, CIMEA) constitute the SQF Working Group Members. The active involvement of all of them is crucial, in order to share the strategic decisions to build a useful CGFSQF.

5. Definitions Sectoral qualification Framework for Coast Guard Functions (CGFSQF): the Sectoral qualification Framework for Coast Guard Functions (CGFSQF) is a tool for the development and classification of qualifications - defined by learning outcomes - related to Coast Guard Functions sector.

The CGFSQF contributes to the:

 Better understanding of the levels of qualifications within different training systems and comparability of qualifications  Mutual recognition of qualifications  Implementation of experts and students exchange  Development of joint courses and programmes  Improvement of training related cooperation and especially within the framework of the Coast Guard Functions Training Network.

Learning Outcomes: Learning outcomes are statements of what a learner is expected to know, understand and/or be able to demonstrate after completion of a process of learning.

Knowledge: Discipline specific content including concepts, theories and foundation information.

Skills: The application of theory, hands-on practical tasks.

Competences: The integration of cognitive, psycho-motor, and affective domains of learning.

Qualification: Certificate, diploma, degree or title awarded by a Coast Guard Authority (or an authorized Training Centre), relevant at national level to perform a Coast Guard Function.

6. Why to use learning outcomes? Learning outcomes are used to express what learners are expected to achieve and how they are expected to demonstrate that achievement.

Many learning providers have agreed to use a common set of rules for writing learning outcomes. Sometimes these are set out in manuals that cover all the common issues that arise when a programme is translated into learning outcomes.

On the basis of the collected resources (see section “Resources for further information”), the present document was drafted in order to give useful guidelines and a user-friendly methodology to the above mentioned appointed experts. The guidelines will be integrated with three monitoring videoconferences, in order to solve possible doubts and facilitate the mission of the experts.

151

Learning outcomes can provide a useful guide to inform potential candidates about the programme and ensure consistency of outcomes across subjects and disciplines.

Learning outcomes can also help:  students in their learning, guide them and explain what is expected of them;  staff to focus on exactly what they want students to achieve in terms of knowledge, skills and competences;  staff in choosing appropriate learning, teaching and assessment strategies;  both staff and students in monitoring progress.

7. Tips for writing learning outcomes 7.1 How to write good learning outcomes

Writing good learning outcomes takes time and reflection. The creation of learning outcomes is not a precise science and they require considerable thought to write – it is easy to get them wrong and create a learning straitjacket. The benefits in the creation of learning outcomes result from the dynamic and cathartic process of creation. This will involve a simultaneous reflection on possible learning outcomes, their mode of delivery and their assessment. The best learning outcomes are the product of sincere reflection about realistic and attainable combinations of any of the following: knowledge and understanding, practical skills (including applying knowledge and understanding), subject specific and transversal/transferable skills, etc.

All learning outcomes have the following characteristics:

 They are ‘achievements’, clearly identifiable (written in the infinitive).  They must be achievable within the training environment.  They are feasible for trainers.  They must have an observable behaviour.  They have to be measurable.  They can be assessed.  They establish an educational level and are related to a specific skill and competence level.

7.3 Tips when writing Learning Outcomes

 Be realistic - take into account prior knowledge, available time and the learning opportunities  Avoid learning outcomes that are too broad or too narrow in scope  Avoid using the verbs “know”, “understand” or “learn” “explain” as they are vague and subject to interpretation  You can use open-ended learning outcomes to allow for creativity such as “apply theory critically to analyse a ‘given situation’”  Be as succinct and as concise as possible  Keep the number of learning outcomes to a manageable number  Ensure that learning outcomes are assessable  Do not be too prescriptive or too vague  Level descriptors (see Paragraph 10. Level descriptors) should be used as guidance.  The adoption of learning outcomes should never be regarded as part of a move towards the European standardisation of content.

8. Guided drafting The implementation of the Sectoral Qualification Framework for Coast Guard Functions is an on-going process, in which the SQF Experts are asked to draft the first grid to be shared and validated by several interested parties. In this process, the following steps and actions are suitable to guide the drafting, by a logical and graduated analysis of the project tools. As stated in the introduction, the main starting point for the analysis is the study of the Qualifications questionnaire results. Each SQF Expert will receive a separate document with the questionnaire results about the entrusted function.

Two macro steps should be identified in the writing of L.O. process. For any step you will find listed below the pertinent actions to be developed.

STEP 1: Identify the number of levels

In order to achieve this result the following actions are requested:

 Analyse the questionnaire results separately, taking into account mapped qualifications (if existing) or entry requirements  Consider the four level descriptors as suggested in the matrix in paragraph 10  Decide the number of levels: you can cut or add levels for each tasks related to the analysed CG function, as appropriate.

STEP 2: Draft learning outcomes

 Check the Learning Areas as resulted from questionnaire and add other L.A. and competences according to your professional judgement, if appropriate.  Place the identified Learning Areas in the respective levels (divided for knowledge, skills and competences), constructing a detailed table (see example in Paragraph 11). Read carefully the definitions of Knowledge, skills and competences in Paragraph 4  Generalize the content of detailed table for each level (see example in Paragraph 11). In writing L.O. take into account of the suggestions in Paragraph 6.  We suggest to place collective professional positions related to air and unit crew in level 3 (Advising/Coordination activities)  Compare the Matrixes you filled with the other SQF Experts, exchange your points of view and find an agreed lexicon style in the presentation of the Learning Outcomes in the grids (via videoconference)

159

9. CGSQF: matrix of the coast guard tasks for cg functions The following example provides for four levels of the existing professional positions/activities (Operator, Supervisor, Expert/Coordinator, Manager). Please add or cut lines, if appropriate. For this purpose, see Paragraph 10. Levels Descriptors, in which a general description of each level is proposed.

The SQF Experts are required to fill in one matrix for each task, in the framework of the Coast Guard Function assigned to them.

10. Levels descriptors In the following table13, the four levels are generally described, in order to explain how to place the various professional positions/tasks in the different levels. Please note that the choice of four levels is based on the field research carried out in the framework of the ECGFA-Net project. The SQF experts are free to increase or reduce the number of levels on the basis of the concrete analysis of the various tasks.

1 Acts carrying out work basic tasks independently Operator/Operational Refers to the supervisor for his activity, if it is needed activities 2 Acts carrying out work basic tasks independently. Supervisor/Supervision Leads small groups for basic tasks. activities Supervises the operators, ensuring the quality of their work.
