Europass is offering a single interoperability mechanism for credentials across the European Education Area – a market of over 500 million people. Organisations can implement the Europass Digital Credentials Infrastructure to issue digital credentials such as qualifications (like a degree or vocational training), apprenticeships or participation certificates efficiently through a secure, trustworthy and fraud-resistant digital infrastructure. Europass Digital Credentials are legally equivalent to paper-based certificates across the European Union and all components of the infrastructure are open and free. Neither credential issuers nor credential holders have to pay for any of the services or use the cloud-based services of Europass.
Vendors, such as Student Management System Providers, Learning Portfolio providers and HR Systems / Job Platforms, are encouraged to join our growing group of actively engaged stakeholders and get involved with the implementation.
