Like in quality management systems REVEAL offers two ways of evaluation, a self (internal) evaluation (like in EFQM) in which the project owners and experts in the field evaluate the learners and an external evaluation carried out by REVEAL evaluators in close cooperation with the project owners.

1. Auto-evaluation of learners’ competence developments with LEVEL5 (by using the LEVEL5 software, quality assurance by REVEAL-evaluators; Internal certification)

2. External evaluation by accredited REVEAL evaluators

There will be two different levels of certificates since the external evaluation offers a bigger reputation, objectivity and reliability. However in some cases also the internal evaluation may be of bigger value, especially if the focus is on informality.
