National qualifications frameworks developments in Europe 2019. Qualifications frameworks: transparency and added value for end users

This booklet on the latest national qualifications frameworks developments, aims to summarise and illustrate the state of play of the 43 frameworks created to date in the EU, EFTA, candidate and potential countries and the UK. The purpose of this publication is to provide a brief overview and update on these frameworks, their purposes, structures and implementation. Part I of the report offers a general overview of implementation of European NQF developments, with a brief discussion on the contribution and impact these frameworks are having. Part II briefly presents each national framework and the way it has been designed and structured. This description is supported by detailed NQF tables showing not only how qualifications and qualification types have been allocated to the national learning-outcomes-based levels, but also their reference to the EQF levels.
