It can be registered into the
“Libretto formativo
individuale” (individual
training booklet)
IT’S A FORMAL CERTIFICATE
It’s given to an individual
Points out and assures that the individual owns all the typical competences of a
defined professional figure
It’s assigned through a PROCEDURE
REGULATED by the Region
It can be obtained through the addition
of partial certifications (certifications of
“competency unit” which can be gained
through different ways of learning,
during different periods of life)
the RQSthe RQS QUALIFICATION is:QUALIFICATION is:A group of working roles,
operating on working processes which are similar
and characterized by professional and homogeneous
competences
It 'a "joint" between the vocational training and the labour system
It is not "prescriptive" neither for the one nor for the other system
A qualification is not a working role
The SRQ doesn’t represent the system of working roles inside the enterprises
A qualification can be a reference to the one and the other system
A qualification is not a training course
The SRQ is not the system of training offer
The qualification reflects professional figures “trainable" and "present" in the world of work
A register of qualifications expressed in standards of professional
competences

Object
Object for formalization and certification are the professional standards of qualifications.
The minimum certifiable unit consists of the competency unit.
In the perspective taken competences are the reference and communication code :
for the world of work where competences are a factor for efficiency, quality and competitiveness
for the educational and training system where competences become prevalent and relevant training objectives
for the protection of individual rights where the competences form factor of employability and individual capital to value and recognize
The RSFC allows to formalize and certify the competences of:
people who took part (partially or fully) to a training course which provides as a result the issue of a document of formalization and certification
people with experience in the workplace, and/or informal situations and/or with certificates obtained in relation to formal learning situations involved in obtaining a document of formalization and certification

RRSSFC FEATURESFC FEATURESRRSSFC FEATURESFC FEATURES
The RSFC is characterized by two essential conditions:• defined and strict procedures,• professional competence of its authors .
These two conditions make:• sure the path - each one (beneficiaries, actuators, external actors interested ...)
knows the stages of the route;• homogeneous and transparent the contents;• the same criteria for analysis and evaluation of skills (for evidence or for
examination) in any place-any time;• The results/outcomes of the process used in different contexts and
authoritative.
The use of reliable procedures and visible by "experts" makes the results stronger and facilitating the use in different contexts
