This publication was prepared as part of the NQF-in Project Developing Organisational and Financial Models for Including Non-Formal Sector Qualifications in National Qualifications Frameworks financed by the European Union within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme. It consists of two volumes: Volume I – Country Reports, Volume II – Annexes to the Country Reports, both published in electronic format.

The aim of the NQF-in Project is to provide evidence-based support to national governments, EU agencies and key stakeholders in developing policies for including qualifications in national qualifications frameworks, with a particular focus on qualifications awarded outside the formal education system (non-formal sector qualifications). This aim is achieved by conducting two sets of activities in the project: (1) providing systematised knowledge about the organisational and financial solutions applied in seven EU countries for including non-formal sector qualifications in their NQF-based systems, and (2) developing organisational and financial models for the inclusion of non-formal sector qualifications in NQF-based systems.
