Vocational qualifications in the Nordic region

This section provides information on vocational education and training (VET) in the Nordic countries, with a particular focus on qualifications at levels 3 to 6 of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). It contains information on the structure of the Nordic VET systems, responsible authorities and quality assurance mechanisms. 

There is currently no agreement for automatic recognition of vocational education and training between the Nordic countries, as there is for academic education and access qualifications in the Reykjavík Declaration. This information is intended to serve as a practical resource for the NORRIC and ENIC-NARIC offices, educational institutions, employers, and other stakeholders involved in the evaluation of qualifications, recruitment, or admission to further studies.  

This section aims to facilitate the recognition of Nordic VET qualifications across the Nordic region, supporting greater transparency and cooperation.
