December 5, 2025
Share on 
The guidelines provide a structured and practical roadmap for comparing national and regional qualifications frameworks (QFs) from outside the EU with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). Developed in response to the 2017 EQF Recommendation the document is designed to support policymakers and technical experts in conducting robust, transparent, and mutually beneficial comparison exercises. The guidelines are the result of collaborative work by the EQF Advisory Group, the European Commission, the ETF, Cedefop, and the Council of Europe, and are informed by extensive pilot experiences with various countries and regions, as well as feedback received through a dedicated Peer Learning Activity.
