EQF Peer Learning Activity: National Qualifications Databases

The development of qualifications databases plays a key role in making National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs) operational, giving end-users, be these individual learners, parents, employers or others, direct access to the information on qualifications contained by the qualifications frameworks. Given that NQFs have largely been developed with a reference to the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), the development of databases not only needs to respond to the wish for transparency at national level, but also to the challenge of European comparability of qualifications.The purpose of the PLA is to discuss and exchange experiences regarding the development and use of national qualifications registers and databases and their connection at European level.The PLA will build on the work carried out on national qualifications frameworks during the last decade.
