Accredit your school.
Certify your students.
Lead in the education market.
The European soft skills certification standard for schools — turning what your institution already does into verifiable evidence, recognised by universities and employers in 60+ countries.
77%
UNICEF Skills Initiative, 2023
of young people aged 15–24 lack formal evidence of their transversal competencies upon completing secondary education — real human capital, invisible to universities and employers.
9%
OECD Education at a Glance, 2024
of schools worldwide offer formal accreditation of transversal skills, even as the world's top 100 universities and employers already assess them systematically in admissions and hiring.
91% vs 14%
European Commission / Joint Research Centre, 2023
of school leaders say their institution develops transversal skills. Only 14% can prove it with verifiable evidence to third parties.
Your school is already doing it. The world just can’t see it.
The problem isn't what schools do — it's that nobody outside can see it. Without a common standard, there's no proof. Nothing to show a university. Nothing to give an employer. Nothing a family can keep.
Grades measure knowledge. They don't show skills. They don't show potential. EASEC gives students the proof that grades can't.
One standard. Four solutions.
Everything your institution needs.
EASEC enables your institution to accredit its programme, certify your students' competencies, guide their vocation and certify your teaching staff — with internationally recognised evidence.
Four independent solutions. Your school chooses where to begin.
Accredit your institution.
Demonstrate what you already do.
Your school already works on transversal skills. What is missing is the internationally validated framework that makes that effort visible to universities, employers and families. EASEC reviews your programme and issues a European accreditation seal aligned with ESCO, EQF, Tuning and WEF Future of Jobs.
- Official alignment report with ESCO, EQF, Tuning and WEF
- EASEC Accreditation Seal for institutional communications
- Verified public profile on easec.eu
- Continuous alignment support throughout the accreditation period
Accreditation seal
Certify your students.
Credentials they will carry for life.
Instruments designed for ages 12–18 — psychometrically validated, built for the secondary classroom. Your school chooses what to assess: diagnostic data without credential, or full certification with a co-branded Europass Digital credential and Open Badge 3.0.
- 32 competencies across five domains — flexible licence configuration
- Europass Digital credential + Open Badge 3.0 co-branded with your school
- Valid 3 years, verifiable in real time at cert.easec.eu

Guide their vocation.
(Available August 2026)
65% of students entering higher education are not certain their career choice corresponds to their real strengths. The EASEC vocational guidance tool is a 48-item assessment based on the Ikigai framework — connecting passion, strengths, social value and professional opportunity into one objective profile.
- 48-item validated assessment based on the Ikigai framework
- Individual vocational profile report per student
- Designed to support the counsellor — not replace them
- Discovery tool — does not issue a credential
Who benefits
For the student
An objective profile connecting passions and strengths — real evidence to support decision-making before choosing a career path.
For the counsellor
Validated, comparable data that makes guidance conversations with students and families more effective.
For the family
A validated profile grounded in evidence — not assumptions or generic personality tests.
Aligned with the leading international teaching frameworks.
Most schools have no objective, externally validated instrument to accredit their teaching staff. The EASEC DCA·E evaluates practice across seven dimensions — from lesson design and digital competencies to inclusion and professional development. 44 items. Aligned with DigCompEdu, UNESCO AI CFT 2024 and OECD TALIS.
- 44-item assessment across 7 teaching competency dimensions
- Aligned with DigCompEdu, UNESCO AI CFT 2024 and OECD TALIS
- Europass Digital credential + Open Badge 3.0 per teacher
- The same standard applied to students, now for their teachers
Seven competency dimensions
Teaching practice
Lesson planning, active methodologies, assessment and feedback — the core of daily pedagogical practice.
Digital & inclusion
Digital competencies and AI in the classroom, inclusion and diversity — the dimensions reshaping teaching most rapidly.
Professional development
Classroom management, family relations and continuous professional growth — the dimensions that sustain quality over time.
What EASEC transforms in your institution.
Adopting EASEC is not adding another seal to your school's educational proposition. It is a strategic decision about what kind of institution your school wants to be — and how it wants to be perceived by the families, universities and employers who will evaluate your graduates.
Real differentiation
Very few schools can prove they develop 21st-century skills. The EASEC seal and your students' co-branded credentials are the difference between saying it and demonstrating it — a position no competitor can replicate with a marketing redesign.
Data for better decisions
Competency progress data by student, year group and cohort. Objective evidence to measure pedagogical interventions and make programme decisions — not perceptions, not satisfaction surveys.
A compelling case for families
A verifiable Europass credential and a shareable Open Badge 3.0 are concrete arguments no transcript can replace — usable from day one in university applications, scholarship processes and employment.
Reputation backed by standards
Alignment with ESCO, EQF, Tuning and WEF is functional evidence in external accreditation processes, inspections and university partnerships — not a communications argument.
This is for you.
Within every school, the decision involves more than one profile. EASEC for Schools answers the specific questions of each decision-maker from their function — because the same solution addresses different problems depending on where you sit.
School Principal
Differentiate with evidence.
Not with promises.
Every school claims to develop well-rounded students. Almost none can prove it with internationally verified evidence. The EASEC seal turns that argument into a real asset — a European standard aligned with ESCO, EQF and WEF that backs your proposition with families, universities and external evaluators. Not a redesign of your programme. The formal recognition of what you already do.
Academic Director
Make programme decisions
with real data.
Grades measure knowledge. They do not measure critical thinking, teamwork or communication. EASEC provides what grades cannot: competency progress reports by student, year group and cohort — comparable across years and groups. See what works, where the gaps are and how to prioritise them.
Head of Guidance
Guide with data.
Not only intuition.
You accompany students at one of the most defining moments of their lives — often relying on conversations and self-assessment questionnaires. The EASEC Ikigai tool provides the objective psychometric profile that makes those conversations more effective. Students arrive with a 48-item profile crossing passion, strengths, social value and professional opportunity.
Innovation Coordinator
Turn your innovation into communicable evidence.
You lead pedagogical transformation initiatives — new methodologies, skills programmes, technology integration. But proving impact with objective data remains a constant friction. EASEC turns that innovation into verifiable evidence: certifying the competencies your programmes generate and accrediting that they meet international standards. A narrative backed by data, not only by intent.
The standard that backs every
accreditation and every credential.
International frameworks
Every EASEC instrument, assessment and credential is aligned with the frameworks that define the global competency standard: ESCO, EQF, Tuning, WEF Future of Jobs 2025 and UNESCO recommendations for secondary education.
The alignment is not declarative — it is documented. Every accredited school receives an official report presentable to universities, accreditation bodies and educational inspection processes.

Frequently asked questions.
Everything you need to know before taking the first step — answered directly, without ambiguity.
No. If your school already has a programme — a specific subject, a tutorial programme or documented extracurricular initiatives — EASEC evaluates its alignment and delivers a report with strengths, gaps and recommendations. If you do not yet have a formal programme, free guides based on UNESCO recommendations help you structure it. The process adapts to where you are today.
Between 4 and 8 weeks from the initial application to the issuance of the seal, depending on the documentation available. EASEC provides technical support throughout to facilitate documentation without creating additional administrative burden for your team.
The school acts as data controller for minors' data. Each student automatically receives their own portable personal EASEC account upon completing the assessment. All data processing strictly complies with GDPR within the European Economic Area, with security aligned to ISO 27001.
No. All four EASEC solutions complement what the school already has. The Ikigai tool strengthens the counsellor with objective data. Certification adds the layer of verifiable evidence that grades alone cannot provide. Accreditation validates and makes visible what you already do. Teacher certification complements internal evaluation with an externally verifiable standard.
Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German, Italian and Catalan. Students can complete assessments in their native language regardless of the school's language of instruction. Individual, family and institutional reports are generated in the selected language.
Credentials belong to the student — not the school. Each certified student receives a permanent portable EASEC account, independent from the institution that issued it. Credentials are cumulative and verifiable in real time at cert.easec.eu/certificates/verify without needing to contact the school or EASEC.
Yes. EASEC operates in more than 60 countries across Europe, Asia and Latin America. Accreditation is available to institutions in any region.
