![Page 5: ASPECTS OF NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK WORK AND ROLE OF SECTOR COMMISSIONS Workshop on Recognition & Flexible Learning Paths Miločer, 5th – 6th July.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a84b40/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

Qualification is achieved when a competent body determines that an individual’s learning has reached a
specified standard of knowledge, skills and wider competences
Learning inputs

Descriptors describe all forms of learning outcomes.
Developing level descriptors based on learning outcomes based for NQFs has been a challenge for all countries.
![Page 7: ASPECTS OF NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK WORK AND ROLE OF SECTOR COMMISSIONS Workshop on Recognition & Flexible Learning Paths Miločer, 5th – 6th July.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a84b40/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

from general education to VET

Mobility is the key

NQF
The core of the EQF concerns 8 reference levels describing what learner: knows, understands and
is able to do, and now 26 European countries have proposed or adopted 8 levels for their National
Qualification Frameworks (NQFs)
but not all: Ireland and Slovenia have 10 levels in their NQFs, Iceland and Norway only 7 levels…

NQF provides impetus for reforms
helps strengthen connections between different parts of the education and training system
provides a neutral reference point for stakeholders with different backgrounds
offers an opportunity for dialogue
![Page 13: ASPECTS OF NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK WORK AND ROLE OF SECTOR COMMISSIONS Workshop on Recognition & Flexible Learning Paths Miločer, 5th – 6th July.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070323/56649d9c5503460f94a84b40/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
•NQF must be based on learning outcomes
•NQF must be accepted by education, training, and the labor market
•NQF must be linked to the systems for the validation of non-formal and informal learning, and to quality assurance mechanisms
