Overview

The European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning serves as a translation tool to better understand national qualifications and make them more comparable.

It is a common reference framework of eight levels, expressed as learning outcomes with increasing levels of proficiency. Countries map their national qualifications frameworks to the EQF levels, which helps understand what a qualification obtained in another country means.

Public Consultation

The Commission has launched a public consultation, open until 22 March 2023, which will contribute to the evaluation of the EQF by finding out:

  • – how the EQF has been used
  • – what are its benefits
  • – and how it can be improved

It seeks the views of workers, learners, employers as well as stakeholders from education and training, employment and civil society. The responses will help describe developments, understand how the EQF is implemented and identify potential improvements.
