European Qualifications Passport for Refugees
The European Qualifications Passport for Refugees is a standardized document issued in a project carried out by the Council of Europe and partners. It consists of two parts: the assessment part and the explanatory part.
The assessment part of the European Qualifications Passport contains information on the highest qualification(s) achieved, academic discipline, other relevant qualifications, as well as relevant job experience and language proficiency (in cases where it is possible to substantiate it).
The explanatory part contains information about the status of the document and a short description of the Project.
The European Qualifications Passport for Refugees is a standardized document that explains the qualifications a refugee is likely to have based on the available evidence. Although this document does not constitute a formal recognition act, it summarizes and presents available information on the applicant’s educational level, work experience and language proficiency. The evaluation methodology is a combination of an assessment of available documentation and the use of a structured interview. Thus, the document provides credible information that can be relevant in connection with applications for employment, internships, qualification courses and admission to studies.
