Instrument for developing, classifying and issuing qualifications in a group of countries – at regional or sectoral level – according to standards related to content, level, learning outcomes, assessment, validation, certification and quality assurance.
Comment
- At regional level, a transnational qualifications framework associates countries that are in geographical proximity, often, but not necessarily organised within a regional association or body, for example the European qualifications framework;
- at sectoral level, a transnational qualifications framework associates countries within or beyond the same region, but limited to a specific sector, for example the CARICOM TVET framework set up by the Caribbean community.
