1 Register in COMPASS Database:

The COMPASS Database makes it easy for organisations in charge of a mobility project to coordinate the alignment process regarding the learning objectives and curricula of work placements abroad with their mobility participants and the host organisations.

First of all, have yourself and your organisation registered via one of the named project partners. This is a requirement of data privacy protection law. The use of the database is free of charge.

When you have been provided with your access data, you can log in and will be guided to a website where you can describe your organisation and store a logo and contact details.

In the next step, you enter your mobility projects and give a detailed description of the same. This will later help you to allocate mobility participants to a certain project.

Subsequently, you enter the profiles of the foreign partner organisations involved in your mobility projects and the hosting companies, respectively.

These details will automatically be shown in the printouts for your COMPASS Learning Agreements and the COMPASS Certificate.

Hands-on recommendations

All beginnings are difficult – this is very much true of highly complex database systems. Don’t give up. Proceed step by step and download the users’ guide provided in various languages on the COMPASS Database homepage.

The more often you use the system, the easier it will be. Enter test data for several projects or a test group of mobility participants as soon as possible. Repeating these entries makes you more and more familiar with the database. Since all entries are stored, they will be available for later use and procedures are accelerated.

Transmit to your partners the relevant link to the COMPASS Database asking them to complete any entries relating to their organisation.
