In a sustainable economy the assessment of Eco skills provided in a Vocational Education and Training (VET) course is performed by the amount of knowledge applied on the job a period after the course ends. To this end VET providers have a current need of quality guidelines for scalable Eco skills and sustainable training evaluation. The purpose of the paper is to present some results of the project entitled “European Quality Assurance in VET towards new Eco Skills and Environmentally Sustainable Economy”, as regards Eco skills categorisation and elaboration of a scale to be used in the green methodology for learning assessment. In the research methodology, the Eco skills are categorised and exemplified for jobs at different levels into generic skills and specific skills evidenced from relevant publications in the field. Than the new Eco skills scale is developed which is organized into six steps: from “Level 1 - Introductory” up to “Level 6 - Expert”. The Eco skills scale is a useful input in the learning assessment process.
