With support of domestic and international experts in this area, school teams are formed and there were implemented trainings that aimed at understanding of purpose and goals of realization of recognition of prior learning, elaboration of programme, instruments and other documentation needed for applying for accreditation. Besides the trainings, there were realized field visits to schools within which are also held meetings with social partners with whom were discussed questions and needs for establishment and realization of procedure for recognition of prior learning.
