2. Gaining professional accreditation certificates via e-learning in Spain
In 2008, in Spain, the first regulatory framework was
published on professional accreditation certificates
awarded through blended learning, setting out the
minimum criteria for content, methodology and
platforms. Later, the State Public Employment Service
(SEPE) issued the Order regulating accreditation for
distance learning. This was produced with great clarity
and rigour, leaving no room for doubt or
misunderstanding. It was a brilliant exercise that many
other countries would have loved to emulate.
This new situation involves two kinds of e-learning
players
- There are the big players, who are trying to
corner the national market by aligning with
educational establishments throughout all the
Spanish regional areas. Naturally, their turnkey
solutions leave the educational centres acting
as nothing more than mere implementers, just
taking their fee.
- Then, there are the lifelong educational
establishments, which want to do things their
own way, playing their cards as they know best
because they truly understand that work well
done always has its reward
If you belong to this second group, you might just want
to carry on reading.
Regarding technological platforms, there are many
requirements for being able to issue accreditation
certificates. This clearly shows us that not all platforms
are equally good, and not everything we come up with
is going to be a perfect fit. Since its inception, Moodle
could not fully support all the specifications, and not
even a giant like Sakai can do so. This means that the
best solution is to partner with an e-learning
technology provider able to do this work for us, so we
can focus on managing accreditation certificates -
unless we want to die trying.

3. Gaining professional accreditation certificates via e-learning in Spain
So, if you are going to choose an e-learning service
provider, don't just get hung up on bandwidth, SSL,
Quad, and goodness know what other technical
jargon is doing the rounds. You can do all of this with
a quick search of the various vendors available. You
should be focusing your efforts on something much
more important. You need an ally - someone with
an excellent knowledge of managing accreditation
certificates, someone who can come alongside you
in the management of administration and support,
and who can help you, your tutors and your team on
a day-to-day basis with your academic systems
management.
It’s even more fantastic if your working partner is
someone who can help you right from the start with
managing certificates and with setting up all your
content and your platform and, more than that, who
can also help you focus on the actual teaching.
If, on top of that, you can be helped to produce perfect
reports, you are going to avoid a lot of headaches,
leaving you free to focus on the more important things
and avoid getting tied up with time-consuming, onerous
tasks.
We really understand how to manage e-learning
certificates. Our approach means e-learning companies
have to be proactive with customers and help the
whole process be completely transparent and efficient.
SEPE is very critical about teaching, methodology,
technology and content. So, find a partner who knows
about technology, but who is also an e-learning
specialist and not just a technologist; a good advisor
who can help you throughout the administrative and
teaching process.
