Fall 2025 events added!

FINEEC regularly 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 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 training sessions are aimed at the Valssi main users and implementers, i.e. heads of ECEC centres, who are not yet familiar with the system. The training sessions will cover the functionalities of Valssi, the steps to be taken to collect and evaluate data, and the roles of the main users and implementers in the data collection process.

Valssi-clinics are held during the national evaluation and to support data collection. At clinics you can ask advice or help in sending or answering questionnaires. We will organise more clinics in Novermber if needed.
