__it is the formal output of a learning and/or certification/validation process (titoli e qualifiche) such as: attestato di qualifica,diploma, laurea, etc…, delivered by a authorized institutions;__qualifica has always been used in the VET system, and its use in ED and HE needs an effort of adaptation;__it defines professions and levels (qualifica) in the national collective agreements;__it is independent from learning/training pathways, and can be reached through different pathways (school, university, VETand non-formal and informal contexts).The concept of validation/certification only recently has entered the Italian culture. It is a process that:__incorporates the processes of both assessment (“valutazione”) and certification;__refers mainly to qualifications acquired in Formal, Non-Formal and Informal contexts, assessed and recognized byauthorized bodies with respects to predefined standards.Apart from different uses and difficulties, the Italian approach seems to be:__shifting from input to output of the learning process;__improving coherence with the EQF concepts in the sub-systems and especially in VET;__need to be supported by a homogeneous approach of a National Qualifications Framework.In Spain the main tool is the National Qualification Catalogue which qualifications therein are assigned specific levels ( NQFlevels) and Spanish NQF levels are already defined and related to EQF levels. ( see frame next question).Spanish NQF is not concluded yet and covers 2 major areas: VET and Higher Education. VET part of NQF is the only onealready concluded an is current ruling the national VET system. Higher Education part is under construction.At VET level of Spanish NQF , EQF levels are already related to NQF VET levels as follows:Figure 9Relation between Spanish VET and EQFSource: Spanish templateIt is managed INCUAL – National Qualification Institute. The methodology used to refer NQF Levels to EQF levels is notdisclosed to the broad public by INCUAL: Although this reference exists and is published, it is still pending of official legalapproval. The legal approval will be obtained once the Higher Education part of the NQF is concluded.NQF-SQF:"This project has been funded with support from27/28Overview of National Qualificationprepared by 3s research laboratoryframeworksthe European Commission.

At VET level of Spanish NQF , EQF levels are already related to NQF VET levels as shown previously. Although NQF Levelsare already referenced to EQF levels, it is not in use yet in practical procedures by organizations, educational bodies andsystems.Accreditation of Non University Studies:http://www.educacion.es/mecd/jsp/plantilla.jsp?id=64&area=titulosOnly Qualifications/Competences obtained via formal education studies can be accredited by the current formal system( Formal primary & secondary levels or similar).Accreditation of Non formal competences can be only recognized ( very recently) via The Real Decree 1224/2009 forCompetences Acquired via Labour Experience Recognition. The process is oriented to recognize and to certify competencesacquired by non formal education ways at a national level and is based on the NQF ( process described on the next topic). Asthis is a very recent system and it is under implementation, qualifications available to be recognized by the system varies a lotdepending on the contry region stage of the system implementation.Accreditation of University Studies:It is not a straight forward process yet as EQF objectives are meant to be:There are 2 different processes:__Homologation: Formal recognition of University Studies that entitle the applicant to follow the formal studies at this level inSpain. Any graduates can apply for approval of foreign higher education diplomas obtained abroad. The approval granted inSpain official validity of higher education diplomas obtained abroad. An approved foreign degree has the same effects(academic or professional) of the Spanish academic degree or qualification which is homologous throughout the country.These effects occur from the date it is granted and issued the corresponding credentials.For the approval to specific titles, the current academic degrees and Bachelor's Degree competent Department ofQualifications and Recognition of Qualifications of the Ministry of Education. Approval of academic degrees and postgraduate(Masters and PhD) is the responsibility of Spanish University Rectors.In this ministry, you can request two types of approvals:· A Spanish university degree specifically included in the official university catalog that is current and fullyimplemented in at least one Spanish university.· The degree of Diploma or Degree.__Recognition: Formal recognition of University Studies that entitle the applicant to work in Spain in certain areas: exampleArchitect, Psychologist etcCommunity rules of professional recognition is based on the articles of the Treaty establishing the European Communitygoverning freedom of establishment and freedom to provide services. In order to give effect to this freedom, we have adopteda set of provisions implementing these provisions of the Treaty and set up a system of recognition of professional qualificationsbetween the Member States of the Union.This specific legislation in Spain in the Royal Decree 1837/2008, of November 8 , Which is incorporated into Spanish lawDirective 2005/36/EC European Parliament and the Council of 7 September 2005 and Directive 2006/100/EC the Council of20 November 2006 concerning the recognition of professional qualifications, as well as certain aspects of the exercise of thelegal profession.The effects of this recognition are exclusively professional, ie, lead to the authorization to practice a specific profession in thehost State. The purpose of professional recognition of qualifications is the overcoming of obstacles, especially those dealingwith qualifications, that citizens of a State can be found for access to exercise a professional activity in another. The mainbeneficiaries are therefore not professionals and students.This recognition of diplomas only applies to nationals· The 27 member states of the European Union: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Denmark, Slovakia,Slovenia, Spain, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Luxembourg, Lithuania, Malta, NetherlandsNetherlands, Poland, Portugal, United Kingdom, Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden.· The 3 states signing the agreement on the European Economic Area: Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein.· Switzerland, under a bilateral agreement with the European Union.NQF-SQF:"This project has been funded with support from28/29Overview of National Qualificationprepared by 3s research laboratoryframeworksthe European Commission.
