Qualifications frameworks in Europe
The concept of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) emerged in 2004. It was formulated by the European Commission in October 2006 and formally approved by the European Parliament on April 23, 2008 (Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 on the establishment of the European Qualifications Framework for lifelong learning). This Recommendation was preceded by a decision of the conference of Ministers responsible for higher education made in Bergen in 2005. At that time, it was agreed that countries participating in the Bologna Process should implement a Framework for Qualifications of the European Higher Education Area.
A significant addition to the 2008 Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the EQF was adopted the following year to address vocational education - the Recommendation of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 on the establishment of a European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET).
