EU Projects

Our EU Projects

The ECQA Gmbh® is joining projects to sustainable fulfil the needs of European training. We are trying to make sure that the trainings and their certifications last long after the end of the projects. For this we do cooperate with partners that are highly interested in going on with their trainings and in developing the generated job profiles or competencies long after the end of the projects.

We try to bring in also our expertise in the different domains as well as our knowledge on EQF and NQF. ESCO is often a basis to go more into details with our partners to be able to assess the chosen competence level and chose a proper way of training/exam way.

Why us?

More than 15 years of experience in the field of European skills certification
An organization with a huge, continuously growing international network of domain specialists
Numerous successful reference projects in both VET and higher education
