"The legislation on the financing of higher education in Flanders grants every student a “learning account”, a system based on the credits already used to compose their programmes of studies. Each student receives 140 credits which he or she can stake in an initial bachelor's or master's programme, with the aim of earning them back. The system of the "learning account" is aimed at increasing the responsibility of both the student and the institution in the choice, conduct, and result of studies."

"Examples are: schooling and initial training (such as apprenticeships and day-release schemes); the training or re-training of unemployed people, including traineeships in enterprises; measures directly targeted at workers or even at certain categories of workers, affording them the opportunity of receiving training unconnected with the firm or industry in which they work (for example the 'learning account')."

"[...] la escolarización y la formación inicial (tales como los contratos de aprendizaje y los contratos de formación en alternancia), los sistemas de cualificación y reciclaje de trabajadores en paro, incluidas las estadías de formación en las empresas, las medidas directamente concebidas para los trabajadores o incluso para determinados tipos de trabajadores, que les brinden la oportunidad de recibir formación que no esté relacionada con la empresa o el sector en el que trabajan (por ejemplo, «la cuenta de aprendizaje»)."
