Qualifications and Credentials Platform

Dedicated webpage on ACQF website: leaflet, all reports, training units, presentations.

The ACQF Qualifications and Credentials Platform (QCP) is a major component of the ACQF as a policy instrument for African qualifications. This comprehensive system of databases aligns with the objectives of the African Union and its member states, contributing to modernize and digitalise management of qualifications at national level, and share information at continental level.

The QCP is being designed to process, classify, compare, and visualise information on various qualifications across education and training sectors. It will consist of interconnected databases, offering at minimum tools for analysis, classification, and visualisation.

QCP is a system of databases at 2 levels: national (managed by the national qualifications authorities) and continental (interoperability. Software architecture and Data Model build on international good practice, notably the EUROPASS, but contextualised and streamlined.
