Common grounds for referencing NQFs and SQFs to the EQF – NQF-SQF
The overall aim of the project NQF-SQF was to create common grounds for referencing national qualifications frameworks and sectoral qualifications/competence frameworks to the EQF, thereby providing for comparability of qualifications on the basis of learning outcomes defined in terms of abilities required by work processes.
The overall aim of the project NQF-SQF was to create common grounds for referencing national qualifications frameworks and sectoral qualifications/competence frameworks to the EQF, thereby providing for comparability of qualifications on the basis of learning outcomes defined in terms of abilities required by work processes.
This was enabled by the use of an instrument to be developed within the project: the employability grid. This grid was applicable for the assessment of qualifications as well as for the evaluation of frameworks qualifications refer to. It tested how far descriptions of frameworks and qualifications make visible what the learning outcomes of qualification processes are in terms of work process requirements, thus supporting employment at the European labour market. The project with 12 full partners and 6 associated partners was coordinated by DEKRA (Germany). 3srl coordinated work package 3 "Referenceability of national qualification frameworks" and contributed to all other work packages.
