Europass Language Passport
Your passport to employment!

2. What is the Language Passport?
The Europass Language Passport is a document in which you can record your skills and competence in languages.
It was developed by the Council of Europe and complements the Europass CV to which it can be attached.
It provides a review of all the languages you can use.
This may include partial competences in some languages.
It can include competence gained both inside or outside formal education.
By using the Common European Framework of Reference, you can present your language proficiency in a comprehensible way, which is also internationally comparable.
