Opening doors to learning and working in Europe

What is Europass

Whether you are planning to enrol in an education or training programme, looking for a job, or getting experience abroad, it is important to be able to make your skills and competences clearly understood.

Europass is a new way of helping people to:

• make their skills and qualifications clearly and easily understood in Europe (European Union, EFTA/EEA and candidate countries);
• move anywhere in Europe.

Europass consists of five documents:

• two documents (Europass curriculum vitae (CV) and Europass Language Passport) you can fill in yourself; and
• three other documents (Europass Certificate Supplement, Europass Diploma Supplement and Europass Mobility) filled in and issued by competent organisations.

Europass is supported by a network of National Europass Centres.

Europass has been established by the Decision No 2241/2004/EC of the European Parliament and the Council of 15 December 2004 on a single transparency framework for qualifications and competences.
