Credential Engine is advancing global data interoperability of qualifications frameworks (QFs) to support critical areas such as student mobility and international credential recognition. We invite you to join a webinar on December 17th to review and provide feedback on the proposed CTDL additions for representing QFs as linked open data.

The CTDL Qualifications Frameworks Task Group recently concluded its work to develop new CTDL terms, definitions, and usage guidance for qualifications frameworks, involving experts from around the world. This proposal strengthens the capacity for clear, standardized data about education and training qualifications, aiding users across various sectors in making informed decisions.

In today’s interconnected world, transparently and accurately representing credentials across borders is vital for mobility. QFs provide a structured approach to defining and comparing different types and levels of credentials. They are essential for understanding the equivalence of education and training qualifications across different systems and jurisdictions, thereby enabling more opportunities for learners and workers. 

This proposal builds upon CTDL’s capabilities to link qualifications frameworks with credentials, assessments, competencies, quality assurance, and other relevant resources. By aligning QFs as linked open data, the proposal enhances the transparency and accessibility of frameworks vital for global education and workforce ecosystems.
