HEIDEMARIE MÜLLER-RIEDLHUBER by the European Union in Brussels to appear on their website dedicated to Self-Regulated industries”.*° The Kompetenzprofil fiir Beratende (Competence profile for counselling practitioners) distinguishes six competence groups, each of which has one or more subordinated detailed competences. The competence profile has been developed by a group of researchers and experts from the Nationales Forum Beratung in Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung (National Guidance Forum for Education, Career and Employment) and from the Ruprecht-Karls-University of Heidelberg. The author emphasize that the framework offers: s a self-assessment tool for competences in counselling and guidance for practitioners and a basis for further vocational development + orientation for guidance organisaitons in recruiting ¢ support in defining curricula and in developing (further) education and training offers s orientation for decision makers and stakeholders at policy level with regard to the quality of counselling and guidance practitioners in the field of education, career and employment ¢ abasis for research in the field of competence description, validation and recognition in the context of counselling and guidance s a basis for developing information material such as check lists, databases, registers and for identifying professional guality in the field of counselling and guidance While the Kompetenzprofil für Beratende is written in German, the ECVision Competence Framework of Supervision and Coaching is available in several languages. It has been developed on a peer- and expert-review basis, and is distributed across Europe by the ANSE * network. It took into account inputs from several European countries and two of the most important standards in the field of competence and learning outcome descriptions, the EQF and Bloom’s Taxonomy”. Furthermore, the ECVision performance criteria correspond with the CEDEFOP definition of assessment criteria and thus serve as “guidelines providing transparent communication of both self-assessment and assessment by qualified others”.** Thus, the performance criteria defined in the ECVision Competence Framework for Supervision and Coaching can be understood as observable competence-related behavior.
