Taking into consideration the Expero project proposal, Govaq was intended to carry out an evaluation of the Expero model to verify the possibility of making the model “certificable” or to evaluate the feasibility of being included as a quality model/standard.

To carry out this evaluation Govaq defined the following methodology:

1. To carry out a study on the state of the art of quality models in education and European Commission guidelines.
2. To define the inputs for the evaluation (quality models, European Commission guidelines, certification bodies expertise and priorities, others)
3. To define the evaluation criteria
4. To carry out a first evaluation of the model based on weaknesses, strengthens and recommendations
5. To provide the evaluation results to an authorised and recognised certification body for feasibility on a possible certification/standarisation.
6. To carry out a final evaluation of the model based on weaknesses, strengthens and recommendations for future implementation.
