Introduction
In an increasingly global and competitive job market, professionals need more than experience: they need validation. And when it comes to soft skills, that validation must be objective, reliable, and recognised. This is where EASEC comes in: the new European standard for certifying soft skills and transversal competencies.
The problem: soft skills remain invisible to many employers
You may have an impressive track record in leadership, adaptability or teamwork, but if it isn’t certified, it often goes unnoticed in selection or promotion processes.
Universities and training programmes rarely offer external validation of these skills, leaving a gap between what you can do and what you can prove.
The solution: a European framework for soft skills certification
EASEC (European Accreditation of Soft Skills & Employability Competencies) was created to close that gap. Its mission is clear: to provide a reliable, digital and verifiable certification for key transversal skills in today’s work environment.
Its assessments are based on recognised frameworks such as:
- The World Economic Forum (WEF)
- The EU’s Key Competencies
- Employability models and adaptive leadership
What makes EASEC unique?
- Up to 98% reliability in online assessments
- Official diplomas with verification code
- Digital credentials for LinkedIn and other systems
- Public directory of certified professionals
- Co-branding and API integration for institutions and companies
Who does EASEC benefit?
- Professionals seeking a competitive edge in selection processes
- Companies looking to validate internal team competencies
- Consultancies offering talent and development solutions
- Universities and training centres wanting to add value to their programmes
How does the process work?
