Figure 6Schema NLQF-EQFNLQF referencing EQFSource: KCH : Advise <strong>of</strong> Committee NLQF-EQF (report version 1.0 May 2011)The Interfaces between the NQF and the EQF are defined as followed:See the first scheme. In the NLQF the designated levels Adult Education are scaled from EQF level 1-5. This matches with theequivalent level <strong>of</strong> secondary education. The lowest level <strong>of</strong> Adult Education, Educatie 1 is scaled under the first EQFlevel, it’s a starting level. Vavo is adult education and within vavo students it’s possible to reach the vmbo, havo or vwolevels.Vmbo has four educational levels. In the NLQF it is situated at EQF level 1 and 2. Vmbo KB en GL/TL are scaled at EQF 2.These students are allowed to enter MBO level 3 & 4 qualifications. Students with a vmbo BB certificate are allowed toenter a mbo 2 qualification. VWO gives entrance to University and is scaled at EQF level 5.The aims <strong>of</strong> the NLQF are, in short:_increase transparency in the Dutch education_increase transparency between the European qualifications_increase the comparability <strong>of</strong> levels <strong>of</strong> qualifications_stimulate thinking in terms <strong>of</strong> learning outcomes as the building blocks <strong>of</strong> qualifications_stimulate life long learning for all_increase transparency <strong>of</strong> learning pathways_at the labour market increase understanding <strong>of</strong> the levels <strong>of</strong> qualifications_facilitate communication between the parties in education and labour market.Access to education abroad is also an important issue. In case <strong>of</strong> regulated pr<strong>of</strong>essions the possibility <strong>of</strong> scaling <strong>of</strong> some VETqualifications at level 5 can be important. A procedure will be developed in order to insure that this kind <strong>of</strong> qualificationswill be properly levelled.NQF-SQF:"This project has been funded with support from24/25<strong>Overview</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>National</strong> <strong>Qualification</strong>prepared by 3s research laboratory<strong>frameworks</strong>the European Commission.
