TRAIN4SUSTAIN Competence Quality Standard
This document is a Competence Quality Standard addressed to white and blue collars. It provides the Learning Outcomes, expressed in terms of knowledge and skills, necessary to achieve recommended competence’s levels in sustainable building. It is a tool useful to assess and report, in a common transnational format (Skill Passport), the level of competence in relation to reference Work Fields. The Competence Quality Standard can also be used to map qualification schemes and training courses and to transparently report the Learning Outcomes provided to white and blue collars. The Competence Quality Standard is useful to identify competence’s gaps and to support in the selection of the most appropriate training courses to fill them. It is a tool useful for public authorities and clients to express measurable competence requirements in tenders and to select the most competent professionals. The document provides guidance about how to validate and certify the assessment of competences.

Introduction
The construction sector is one of the main drivers of EU’s economy. Despite major efforts in harmonising
and standardization of qualification and training procedures across the EU, the competence level of
sustainability experts and the underlying training and education contents varies significantly between
the Member States. The H2020 TRAIN4SUSTAIN project fostered a common understanding of
sustainable competences across Europe developing a Competence Quality Standard (CQS), on which this
CWA is based, in sustainable building for facilitating transnational recognition of learning outcomes and
competence levels of existing qualifications and vocational trainings. The CQS is a tool to evaluate,
scoring and report in a comparable and harmonised way the level of competence, skills and knowledge
of white and blue collars in sustainable building. The CQS is a tool useful to stimulate demand for
competent construction sector professionals through raising acceptance of sustainability qualifications
on the EU construction market. To this end, comparability of qualifications and competences is key for
increased transparency and penetration power in the market, avoiding confusion and uncertainty. The
TRAIN4SUSTAIN CQS intends to be a tool to facilitate the request of qualified professionals and blue
collars by public administrations and private clients and to valorise with a transparent common
“reporting” system the competences acquired through training courses and experience on field. The
TRAIN4SUSTAIN Competence Quality Standard is built on and expands the “European Qualification
Scheme and professional profile description about professions related to NZEB design, maintenance and
refurbishment” delivered by the Horizon 2020 project “Prof/Trac”.
