The European Qualifications Framework is an international reference system that covers all qualifications and is based entirely on learning outcomes. The aim of the EQF is to facilitate comparison of qualifications acquired at different points in time, places and forms, to adapt qualifications to the needs of the labour market, to increase labour mobility and promote lifelong learning.
The Act on the Integrated Qualifications System in Poland establishes a new type of qualification — market qualifications. These are qualifications developed by different communities (social organisations, associations, corporations or other entities) on the basis of their experience.
