Albania has referenced the Albanian Qualifications Framework to the EQF

Albania has referenced as the 36th country its qualifications framework to the EQF.

This morning the referencing report was presented and discussed in the EQF Advisory Group.

Overall, there was a lot of praise for a clear and well structured report that explained in detail how the EQF levels and those of the national framework are linked, how learning outcomes are used in qualifications and beyond in validation, education programmes and life long learning and what kind of quality assurance measures are in place to support confidence in Albanian qualifications.

Michael Graham commented on the report on behalf of ETF.

The report will now be updated on some details, and published on Europass.

Albania can now also start mentioning the EQF on national diplomas and certificates, certificate and diploma supplements and link its database of qualifications to the Europass portal. The referencing coincided with the self-certification of the Albanian Qualifications Framework to the Qualifications Framework of the European Area for Higher Education.

Congratulations to the Albanian colleagues
