Welcome to the National Qualifications Framework website

The "Elaboration of terms of reference for the implementation of the National Qualification Framework and the National Qualification Register for lifelong learning" system project is being performed by the Institute of Educational Research from 2010 through the end of 2013 within the European Social Fund.

About the project
The primary result of the project will be the completion of the NQF model and development of a reference report. Both the report and the model should contribute to a qualitative change in perceiving the manner of attaining qualifications in Poland, leading to a wider acceptance and use of the potential of various pathways to attaining qualifications.
