Following their success, the Sector has been approached as one of four to pilot/test the implementation of the new European Qualifications Framework (EQF). The overall development of the EQF is being led by QCA on a European basis. The objective behind the work is to assess the implications and opportunities for the harmonisation of Vocational Qualifications systems across the EU in our sector.
