The European Qualifications Framework and the Hungarian National Qualifications Framework in the Vocational Training Programmes of Krúdy

EQF European Commission Directives (from 2000.) appear in all main political objectives and conceptual elements that led to the EQF; the EQF is a direct consequence of the transition to knowledge-based economy, education, training principles formulated in Lisbon : Facilitating the mobility of labor, Making easier the comparison of qualifications, The principle of Life Long Learning (LLL) (Copenhagen Declaration 2002)

EQF: to relate different countries' national qualifications systems to a common European reference framework. Use: to better understand and compare the qualifications levels of different countries , different education and training systems. Levels of national qualifications will be placed at one of the central reference levels, ranging from basic (Level 1) to advanced (Level 8). This will enable a much easier comparison between national qualifications and should also mean that people do not have to repeat their learning if they move to another country.

The core element of the EQF is a set of eight reference levels describing: what the learner knows; what the learner understands; what the learner is able to do, 'learning outcomes' regardless of the system under which a particular qualification was awarded.

Knowledge is theoretical or factual Skills are cognitive and practical Competence is about responsibility and autonomy
