Transversal competencies are central to successful learning processes across all subjects and throughout the entire educational biography. The Handbook of Competencies is the appropriate learning and working tool: it offers practice-oriented tasks, impulses for learning planning and documentation, as well as for self-assessment. Additionally, it supports the conscious application of acquired competencies in specific work situations. This handy resource can be used individually by both learners and educators in practice: content can be selectively chosen and personal materials can be added. The Handbook of Competencies addresses current requirements for acquiring key transversal competencies in accordance with the German Qualifications Framework (DQR). It includes practice-related and attractively prepared materials in the area of learning competence.
