Key Aim
The aim of the €qualifise Project is to set up a European Financial Services (FS) Qualifications League to promote the Copenhagen process and to ensure that the EQF levels assigned to financial qualifications by national organisations are reliable and consistent throughout Europe, taking account of the differences between knowledge based and professional competence based qualifications.
Objectives
1) to develop a methodology for assigning EQF levels that takes account of the distinction between knowledge-based qualifications and professional competence qualifications;
2) to assign EQF to the FS Qualifications and to the NQF in the partner countries;
3) to share experience and develop best practice between the partners;
4) to set up a system to monitor, review and endorse the EQF levels that are assigned by the partners (taking academic qualifications and the Bologna process into account);
5) to set up an initial League that will promote the Copenhagen process in the European FS Sector and provide overview and assurance of EQF levels (and potentially of ECVET and quality) that are assigned by national organisations;
6) to hold a conference to launch the League and its work at the end of the project.
7) to disseminate the methodologies, case studies, and information about the League to FS sector stakeholders in the 11 partner countries, the 8 relay partner countries, and more generally to all countries in Europe and internationally.
