Further activities
• New CROQF Expert WG (all relevant stakeholders) is forming
• Expert WG will define all common standards and descriptions
for all levels (sub-levels), which will serve as a basic for
development of detailed descriptions for all qualifications,
based on measurable LO and competences
• Prior learning recognition, including non-formal and
informal learning, will be in focus
• Quality assurance – extremely important
• New elements (class of qualifications, ...)
• Sectoral Qualifications Framework
• ...
