__ Which tools are used to create an interface to EQF?Nothing in planning yet__ How are interfaces between the NQF and the EQF defined? How is it managed? How are learningoutcomes from EQF accredited in the NQF? How are qualifications from an education abroadgenerally accredited? Who is responsible for those definitions and accreditation?The NQF is linked via the levels to the EQF onlyFor the other questions a own study would be necessary because several instruments are in use but neverused from all actors__ What, if any, legal regulations and measures/mechanisms/tools/methods/practices exist within theformal education and training system for easing access to education abroad?Please describe those briefly.Access to education abroad means to follow the national requirement or bilateral agreements. A lot <strong>of</strong>bilateral agreements are available__ What, if any, legal regulations and measures/mechanisms/tools/methods/practices exist for accessinglearning outcomes from non-formal/informal learning? e.g.:At the moment under deep discussion –it is expected to have solutions available in approx half year__ access to education and training programmes;__ admission to exams to acquire formal qualifications/certificates/diplomas;__ access to other forms <strong>of</strong> validation or transfer <strong>of</strong> learning in order to obtain a formalqualification (partial or full).Please describe those briefly.What is expected???4 Quality management / Quality assurance__ Which forms <strong>of</strong> quality management / quality assurance do exist? Which measures are used to avoidmislinkings between the NQF and the EQF?To early to answer this question – no activites are going on in this fields at the momentThe levels <strong>of</strong> the formal qualifications <strong>of</strong> the DQR are consistent with the EQF. This means you cannotrefer a training course in Volleyball to level 5 (this was an example showed by Malta) But as descriptorsare hermeneutic categories the whole referencing process can not be proved (validated) in terms <strong>of</strong>validity and reliablity.__ Have you already identified any mislinkings between qualifications within the NQF and the EQF? Ifso, please describe briefly.There is no systematic and valide study available for answering this question__ Which strengths and which weaknesses do you see concerning the NQF? In what way do thesestrengths/weaknesses influence the referenceability to the EQF?(guess, I answered this question already in the other questionnaire: I can only name strengths andweaknesses when I know the measure; strengths and weaknesses concerning what ? What mayappear as a strength from one perspective may appear as a weakness from an other point <strong>of</strong> view –from my point <strong>of</strong> view the EQF cannot be the measurement; second, problems <strong>of</strong> a properreferencing result mainly in inadequate or deficient descriptors in the EQF and not in inadequatedescriptors <strong>of</strong> sector<strong>frameworks</strong> or domain specific <strong>frameworks</strong> or NQFs; so there are manyPage 4/5
