National Europass Centre
The transparency and comparability of learning and occupational experience plays an increasingly important role in times of ever-greater mobility. With the EUROPASS, the European Commission has created a tool that helps European citizens to present their abilities, skills and qualifications in a clear and uniform way.
The EUROPASS concept went into effect of 1 January 2005. The Europass portfolio currently consists of five documents aimed at boosting transparency: the European Curriculum Vitae, the EUROPASS Language Passport, the EUROPASS Mobility, the Europass Certificate Supplement and the EUROPASS Diploma Supplement. Member States have set up National Europass Centres (NEC) to oversee the implementation of the Europass system. The National Europass Centre in Germany has its offices at the Education for Europe - National Agency for Education in Europe at the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training.
