This session gives an introduction to evaluation criteria with a specific focus on using UK ENIC's key online database International Comparisons. Topics covered include the Lisbon recognition convention, different education system models, distance education and recent developments in secondary education in a range of countries. By working through specific tasks and examples you will gain a sound knowledge of the full range and capabilities of the online database and how to apply this knowledge to everyday situations.

This training is aimed at all members, providing an introductory or refresher course on using the online recognition tools. The course shows the best way to make use of UK ENIC unique data and provides delegates with a wider understanding of the UK NARIC role for education institutions, employers, careers organisations and professional bodies. This is particularly useful for those who are new to using the UK ENIC service.

• Identify key features of the online database International Comparisons
• Be confident in using the databases to answer real life scenarios
