In line of its responsibility vis-à-vis the stakeholders, the schools and colleges for engineering, arts and crafts implemented the quality management system QIBB, which builds on state-of-the-art and recognised principles of quality management and is oriented towards the European quality framework CQAF (Common Quality Assurance Framework, download: DownloadFinal Report CQAF 2003).

 

The cornerstones of QIBB are medium- and short-term plans on the basis of school and work programmes, evaluations, quality reports and the agreement on development and implementation objectives within the framework of management and performance reviews.  QIBB is not limited to the school level but also covers the provincial level (school inspection) and the national level (General Directorate for Vocational Education and Training of the Federal Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture). This ensures that processes affecting several organisational levels are also covered by quality management
