Abstract:
The project called: Life Long Learning Transversalis (LLL-T), is a project within the framework of the Interreg Program POCTEFA 2014-2020 (Territorial Cooperation Program Spain - France - Andorra) by a set of 9 partners constituting a cross-border network whose objective is to harmonize and reinforce the lifelong learning practices to return the challenges of each particular region.

This project concerns on the basis of historical cooperation (TRANSVERSALIS 2009-2013) between the academic institutions and following the strategies set by the regional and national authorities, the project is committed to this themes:
• Link competences and training offer: the creation of cross-border models should be a tool for the global integration of training and mobility support systems.
• Take into account changes in business models to change training methods (alternation - apprenticeship - recognition of equivalence of professional experience): the training offer and the recognition of competences must be developed in a continuum of territories resulting in the creation of joint alternating training courses or the co-validation of cross-border diplomas by the validation of the acquired experience (VAE).
• Train the Trainers: implementation of guidance tools necessary for the success of competences acquisition course.
• Reinforce competences and inclusion within territories.
• Promote the endogenous potential, the development of training systems and the competences of people from the cross-border territory to improve access to work.

One of the most important part of this project are the competences evaluation in higher education. This article, try to describe the difference between each country competences evaluation and their methodologies.
