The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) compares qualifications from different European countries. The EQF was established as a result of a series of international developments such as the Bologna Declaration.
Main goals of the EQF:
- encourage lifelong learning
- promote international mobility of learners and workers
- increase transparency and interchangeability of qualifications
From national to international qualifications
Each country provides an overview of all qualifications an individual can obtain. Those qualifications are placed in a hierarchical structure, the national qualifications framework. By referencing this framework to the European Qualifications Framework, you can compare qualifications. The FQF is aligned to the EQF.
