Europass Certificate Supplement www.europass.ie
The Europass Certificate Supplement is an official document that explains your vocational qualification. It helps your skills and qualifications get the recognition they deserve in Europe and beyond. In Ireland, QQI provide the Certificate Supplement for most further education and training awards. Across Europe, Certificate Supplements are familiar explanatory documents for vocational qualifications, and are provided by awarding / certification bodies. The Certificate Supplement is one of five tools in the Europass career management service. Europass is a free service funded by Erasmus+.
Why use the Europass Certificate Supplement?
• The Europass Certificate Supplement helps you to showcase your vocational skills with confidence.
• It describes in an EU-wide standard format, the purpose of your award and the level and kind of learning involved. It explains the legal status of your qualification, and describes how you might have achieved your standards, the grading and kinds of assessment you experienced.
• The Certificate Supplement illustrates the National Framework of Qualifications and the European Framework of Qualifications, and describes the national context for your studies and any international recognition arrangements associated with the qualification.
• The Supplement is a really clear format that employers find easy to read and use. Because the format is standardised, employers can quickly see your skills in contrast to other applicants.
• Education and training providers use the Certificate Supplement to make sure that your next learning opportunity is at the right level for you.
• ENIC NARIC Offices, such as the Qualifications Recognition service in Ireland, use Certificate Supplements to advise on the comparability of your qualifications to those achieved in other countries.
• Embed the Certificate Supplement in your Europass CV to help ensure that your qualifications are understood and recognised.
• Save your CV on-line in your personal European Skills Passport; store all your career information and documentation in one single place. This makes it easy to be systematic and ready for any opportunity that comes.
