CPV has been making efforts to institutionalize the projects’ approaches and results at the national/regional and sectoral
levels mainly developing along two complementary directions:
-Increasing the transparency of training pathways and the spendability of the competences certified as learning
outcomes with a view of encouraging their mutual recognition by the institutions and social partners;
- increasing the transparency of the different learning experiences regardless of the formal, non-formal and informal contexts in which they have been acquired
Efforts and main issues
www.cpv.org
Promoting the comparability of qualifications between Promoting the comparability of qualifications between different national, regional or sectoral contexts and different national, regional or sectoral contexts and
their future compatibility with EQFtheir future compatibility with EQF
At present, Italy does not have a homogenous framework for identifying, representing
and certifying competences. This makes it difficult to ensure that credits are
legible andportable between education and training systems.
The learning outcomes approach has been the focus of much attention on the part of all
institutions, although it has not yet been fully implemented. This aspect does not facilitate
the permeability of education/training/employment systems.
www.cpv.org
Some example of policy measuresSome example of policy measures
Italy has complied with the EU’s request to implement a European Qualifications
Framework by setting up, in 2006, the ‘Tavolo Unico Nazionale’ (Unified National Committee)
for the construction of a national system of minimum occupational, training and certification
standards promoted by the MLPS.
The Unified Committee’s objective is to draw up anational standards system that will conform with the
European Qualifications Framework..

Referencing NQF to the EQFReferencing NQF to the EQF
A technical group is currently working at referencing the Italian qualifications systems to the EQF by the given deadlines (2010) and to
carry on networking with other European countries in order to guarantee the transparency and consistency of the correlation between our system and the EQF
levels. A draft of the Referencing Report has been submitted to a public consultation process in order to
achieve the maximum of dissemination and agreement.

Major challenges/obstaclesMajor challenges/obstacles
Differences among decentralised VET systems
Long and laborious debate between national institutions (Ministry of Labour and Ministry of Education and
University) and the Regions (which are exclusively competent on vocational training qualification according to Constitution Title V) Regional Qualification Framework
Obstacles have been faced in the attempt to associate descriptors – with the language of learning outcomes –
referring qualifications to each of the 8 levels of the EQF lacking information and awareness about the benefits of
such a conceptual and practical shift

Anticipation on skills needsAnticipation on skills needs
To understand procedures and mechanisms for implementing methods aimed
to anticipate training and vocational needs institutional processes regarding the nature and
function of vocational training in Italy for over a decade:
administrative decentralisation the integration of the training and educational
systems policy actions undertaken on the Community level
and aimed at encouraging the involvement, the participation and the accountability of all the
stakeholders.
