About EFCoCert Foundation

EFCoCert stays for European Foundation for Competence Certification. EFCoCert is committed to support implementation of EU Education policies & lifelong learning objectives and horizon, in which: - Job profiles appear, evolve, vanish so quickly that formal training system / offer cannot follow - Lifelong learning is essential to adapt to a constantly changing labour world - Soft skills and side abilities become more important than diploma and CV for a good match - Non-formal & informal learning are key EU priorities, calling for recognition / validation - Knowing doesn’t mean ability to do, apply, perform, achieve – competence does - Competence is now understood as “ability to apply knowledge and skills to achieve intended results” - Achieving intended results by doing, irrelevant how you learned, is the only relevant finality EFCoCert Vision - Beyond “I know”, the learning ultimate finality is “I am able to do” – i.e. “I am competent” - Educators attest knowledge - beneficiaries and related “ecosystem” recognise competence EFCoCert Mission - Add essential value and relevance to Erasmus+ projects by completing, measuring and demonstrating the projects’ outcome through ISO 17024 compliant competence certification schemes. - Establish and involve innovative informal open badge recognition ecosystems for competence certification in order to: o universalise the accessibility and minimise costs of competence certification, o maximise chances of projects’ outcomes sustainability, perennity and further exploitation. - Bring simple, innovative and effective tools to assess and demonstrate the outcome of non-formal & informal learning. - Advocate and instrumentalise the meta-dimension of competence vs knowledge approach. - Encourage and structure the establishment of practices communities around the certified job profiles.
