This policy brief contributes to a better understanding of the implementation of national qualifications frameworks (NQFs) in Europe.
It provides insights into their main characteristics and scope, and into levels of awareness and use. It also discusses their impact and relevance in the context of the Union of Skills.
The analysis draws mainly on information from Cedefop’s European inventory of NQFs, updated in cooperation with the European Commission, the European Training Foundation and countries participating in the European qualifications framework (EQF) process.
