Information webinars and How to use Valssi -training sessions

In spring 2025, FINEEC organises information webinars and training sessions on Valssi and national evaluations. The training sessions are specifically targeted at municipalities and private service providers who have been selected for the national evaluation samples.

The information webinars in January and February are aimed at the ECEC evaluation contact persons and Valssi main users, i.e. the persons responsible for the overall management and organisation of the ECEC evaluation in their municipality or in their private ECEC center. The webinar will cover the timetable for the national evaluations, how to obtain a Valssi user-rights, how to check Varda data, and the steps for data collection, and evaluation implementation. The first part of the webinar deals with the implementation of the national evaluation. The latter part is aimed at those who are not experienced users of Valssi. The content of the sessions is identical.
