The institutions of the EU decided in December 2004 on a single transparency framework for qualifications and competences. Europass is aimed at removing the barriers to working, studying or training in Europe. The service is free of charge and helps individuals present their skills, competences and qualifications in a way that is clear and understandable.

The Europass portfolio comprises five documents: Curriculum Vitae, Language Passport, Diploma Supplement, Certificate Supplement and Mobility.All of these documents are presented in a standardised format, to ensure maximum transparency across Europe.

If you would like to find out more about Europass or order some free information leaflets, please contact the National Europass Centre on: info@uknec.org.uk.
