The starting point of this article is the observation that much attention is given to the transparency of qualifications acquired in formal education and training institutions and less so to the transparency of competencies acquired at work, at home or during leisure time. The article explores the conceptual basis of existing transparency and transferability tools in the EU. Informed by European and national level experiences, this article underlines the importance of distinguishing between qualifications and competencies and how this can be achieved by precisely applying learning outcomes terminology.
