ETF is organising a corporate conference on 6-7 October at the European Parliament in Brussels on the implementation of National Qualifications Frameworks (NQFs). The event is a follow-up to ETF’s 2009 conference on NQFs, and will involve participants from the EU, our partner countries and from countries such as Australia, Malaysia and South Africa.

The conference offers an outstanding opportunity to reckon with the experience of EQF implementation on European scale, as well as on member state level; and also to explore new ways and orientations for utilizing the potential what EQF consists of. After meeting the deadline of 2010, it is high time to draw conclusions from the lessons learnt and to provide a starting point of reflection process to be completed by April 2013.

This is an important opportunity to examine developments in recognition of prior learning, both in England and across the European Community. The conference sessions will report the work of an EU-funded project which has developed specific recognition processes for vocational teachers and trainers. It will also discuss the state of development of recognition processes in selected EU nations. It will be of general interest to all those engaged with developing policy and practice in recognition of prior learning, as well as to those developing specific processes - such as recognition units. The conference will include an overview of the way in which national and international codes of practice and criteria impact on developments. It offers tightly structured inputs from different nations, as well as a good opportunity for Q&A with the country representatives for the RPLO Project. More information is available here.
