Europass Diploma Supplement Application Profile of the EuroLMAI (EuroLMAI Europass DS AP) CWA 16131:2010

Scope

This specification defines refinements to the EuroLMAI model for representing the Europass DS.

The Europass Diploma Supplement Application Profile of EuroLMAI (in brief: "EuroLMAI Europass DS-AP"), in full compliance with the Europass requirements, focuses on the expression of information regarding the qualification awarded to a learner upon completion of a formal educational programme. The proposed profile is needed for the general purposes of:

- the exploitation of academic achievements abroad: in continuing education or in seeking job opportunities
- the admission of students or graduates in home and European universities: acknowledgment of credits or transfer of credits accumulated in home institutions moving from one university to another
- the expression of the level, content and nature of qualifications to potential employers both nationally and at a European level
- the enhancement of internal and European student mobility, from a university to another, or from one branch of studies to another
- the proper integration of foreign workers into a country's employment setting
- the normalisation of higher education qualifications, either in academic or non academic paths
- the establishment of good practices in the recognition procedures of qualifications among Higher Education Institutions
