GeTinVET - Mapping of relevant training occupations in the field of Building Service Engineering (work package 4)
"Mapping" describes the process of indentifying the competences which are trained in different training programmes of the respective trades or professions. The competences which were defined in a previous step in Work Package 2 by creating a competence matrix in Building Service Engineering are compared with the curricula of the different training programmes. By doing so one can identify which competences are trained in different training courses covering different levels. This also serves as a starting point for collaboration in interdisciplinary scenarios and facilitates an international exchange between trainees and trainers.
Below you can get an overview of the "mapped" training programmes. For reasons of clarity, you can find the mapped training programmes under each learning unit. If you click on the link, you will be taken directly to the mapping of the respective training programme.
Main results of work package 4:
1. A description of the characteristics of the relevant training occupations
In order to better understand the mappings and make it easier to compare training programmes across Europe, all relevant educational programmes in the project were described in the same way: First, the title (national) of each educational programme is given. Then, typical professional fields of activity for each occupation are explained. In addition to the entry requirements and follow-up options (further training), the occupations are classified according to EQF level. In this way, the competence profiles of the individual training programmes can be mapped more clearly in the competence matrix.
2. A coloured overview of relevant training occupations within the competence matrix.

3. Notes and explanations on the procedure and the characteristics of the mapping
The following explains what mapping is and what the associated competency profiles entail. It explains why the mapping was carried out and what purpose it serves in terms of comparability and the project's goal of highlighting overlaps between individual occupations.
4. A coloured representation of intersections of individual relevant training occupations within the competence matrix (overlapping of competence
profiles).
Representation of intersections of individual relevant training occupations within the Building Service Engineering competence matrix (overlapping of competence profiles):
Based on the overlaps and the descriptions in the competence matrix, the following overlaps have been identified (which have led to the development of interdisciplinary learning modules):
Module 1: Planning, commissioning and operation of a solar thermal system = Used Mappings: Germany = 3; Spain = 8; Finland = 11
Module 2: Customer request for a photovoltaic system = Used Mappings: Germany = 1 + 2; Netherlands = 9
Module 3: Reducing the energy consumption of a residential building with a smart home system: Germany = 3; Italy = 5
Module 4: Troubleshooting – a costumer reports a cold room: Germany = 1 + 2; Italy = 5; Spain = 6

5. An explanations on the procedure of the "overlapping"
The following explains the purpose of the ‘overlapping’ and why it was done. Furthermore, specific references to the learning modules are made. It was explained which areas of competence and ‘steps in competence development (units)’ were selected through “overlapping” and how ‘overlapping’ was used to identify interdisciplinary competences between the professions.
6. A commented evaluation on the use of the project results of work package 4.
Here you will find a commented evaluation of the results of Work Package 4 = "Mapping of relevant training occupations in the field of Building Service Engineering", which main objective was to map competences of classic training occupations in initial vocational training in the areas of electrical engineering, supply engineering and construction engineering inside the superordinate field of activity of Building Service Engineering.
