The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and Qualifications Recognition – Making Connections and Meeting New Challenges

Session Information

***VIEW SESSION RECORDING***

The European Union is the world's most open marketplace, where EU citizens are free to live, work, and study wherever they wish. The European Qualifications Framework (EQF) for lifelong learning was launched in 2008 to improve the transparency, comparability and portability of people's qualifications. In past years over 38 countries made the connection with the EQF. improving our common understandings of qualifications using the EQF as the central reference point. The EQF is well established in Ireland and our Irish National Qualifications Framework (NQF) qualifications are assigned an EQF level. Ireland was also the first country to reference their own NFQ to the EQF in 2009; so, now qualifications in Ireland enjoy European currency and recognition throughout Europe and beyond. In 2020, Ireland renewed and updated their referencing relationship with the EQF with endorsement from the European authorities. Come learn how the EQF is used as a translations device in daily work of NARIC Ireland and makes connections between European diverse qualifications systems and Irish qualifications system in changing times.
