The National qualifications frameworks (NQF) online tool is a source of information on the qualifications frameworks and systems of the 41 countries participating in the European qualifications framework (EQF) process. Policy-makers, researchers, and the wider public can learn about the structure and scope of the NQFs, and get information on their implementation, impact and future priorities.
The NQF online tool presents, through an interactive map/grid, information on the state of play of the NQF of each country in 2018, 2020 and 2022. Information is organised in thematic categories, and can be compared for two countries (Country comparison). In addition, through the EQF users can compare qualification types between two countries (Qualification comparison), and have an ‘Overview’ of the main features of all NQFs across Europe.
The information displayed in the tool is collected biennially by Cedefop together with the European Commission and ETF, in cooperation with countries and the EQF national coordination points.
