QUALITY IN TRAINING: AN INSIGHT INTO SELF-ASSESSMENT – LINKING POLICY TO PRACTICEROME 25 NOVEMBER Relevance and Coherence SAETO will deliver a framework to aid and accelerate the implementation of self-assessment within ETOs, both as software support tools and as a validated methodology with a well tested blended learning approach. The SAETO results can be easily adapted to any kind of private or public ETO. The software part of the solution is based on an already commercially available tool for self-assessment in industry (EFQM, ISO 9004) and public administration (CAF). This will ensure a wide acceptance and commercial stability of the post-project product and will accelerate the pick-up of self-assessment by ETOs.
