This is the third round of continental NQF mapping. It builds on the original ACQF mapping in 2020 and the 2024 NQF Survey, which gathered 51 complete responses from 29 countries. Keeping the core questions consistent allows the ACQF to track progress over time – and every response helps ensure that your country is represented in the continental picture.

The survey is an opportunity to showcase your country’s NQF progress, achievements and priorities, covering developments from governance and qualifications databases to RPL, micro-credentials, quality assurance and links with regional frameworks.

Take part

The survey takes approximately 15 minutes, is available in English, French and Portuguese, and is open until 25 September 2026. It is intended for state bodies and organisations responsible for NQFs and is best completed by a senior person with an overview of national developments, consulting technical colleagues where helpful.

Not sure about a question?

Don’t let a tricky question stop you. If you are unsure how to interpret or answer any part of the survey, contact Zalan Jakab at zalan.tamas.jakab@veriangroup.com – he will be happy to help.

Results will be published on the ACQF website, while individual responses will be treated anonymously.

The survey is implemented by PPMI (part of the Verian Group) on behalf of the European Training Foundation and the African Union, under the ACQF-II project.

Make sure your country is part of the 2026 continental picture!
