INSTRUMENT Similarities/differences
What is the instrument?
Dividing qualifi cations into ECVET units. ECVET points can indicate the relative value of a unit.
The NLQF organises qualifi cations by giving them a level, so all qualifi cations can be compared with each other.Validation and scaling of qualifi cations/training programmes (standards).
Validation of knowledge and skills of individuals in relation to a standard. Based on learning results.
EQAVET is a European framework for quality assurance in VET [senior secondary vocational education]. It contains the concept, indicators and descriptors at a national and institutional level.
ECVET: dividing learning units into ECVET units. NLQF: level qualifi cations.VPL: competences individual.EQAVET: quality system.
POLICY CONTEXT

EU agreement: implementation ECVET by the member states. Ministry participates in European consultation.
