The Polish Qualifications Framework. User’s guide

The Integrated Qualifications System (IQS) currently being implemented in Poland enables qualifications awarded in Poland and in other countries of the European Union to be compared by referencing them to the levels of the Polish Qualifications Framework (PQF), and thus to the levels of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). All Polish qualifications included in the IQS must be aligned to a specific PQF level.

The PQF level for a given qualification is determined by comparing its required learning outcomes with the level descriptors of the Polish Qualifications Framework.

The first part of this publication presents basic information about the PQF, its structure and the manner in which the level descriptors are organised and presented. It also explains the role of the descriptors in the process of determining the level of a qualification and provides guidance to help in reading and interpreting individual descriptors. The second part presents detailed information about successive PQF levels with examples of selected learning outcomes and qualifications aligned to the specific level.

The aim of the “User’s Guide” is to support persons who are determining the level of a qualification. It can also assist persons working on descriptions of the required learning outcomes for a given qualification and in developing sectoral qualifications frameworks.
