EQF Referencing Process – Examples and Proposals – EQF-Ref
To implement the European Qualifications Framework (EQF), countries were asked to link their qualifications systems or national qualifications frameworks (NQF) to the EQF: National qualifications systems should be referred to the EQF until 2010 and references to the EQF levels should be introduced in all new certificates and Europass documents by 2012.

The EQF-Ref project sought to facilitate communication between the partner countries (Austria, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Finland, Germany and the Netherlands), to enhance learning from each other and to develop ‘mutual trust’ in referencing qualifications levels to the EQF. In particular, the project aimed to identify procedures of ‘good practice’ for referencing qualifications levels to the EQF and to propose the structure of the EQF referencing reports.
