Europass is the European Commission's platform for skills and qualifications transparency — and the infrastructure behind European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC), the EU standard for verifiable, tamper-evident digital credentials across education, training and professional development.
Native Europass Credentials — Issued Directly Through EASEC
EASEC is an authorised issuer of European Digital Credentials for Learning. When a student completes EASEC certification, the credential is issued natively in EDC format, sealed with a Qualified Electronic Seal and deposited directly into the student's Europass wallet — no infrastructure required from your institution.
Student completes EASEC certification
The student completes the competency assessment. The result is validated against ESCO v1.2.1 and EQF descriptors and assigned an EASEC level 1–5.
Credential built in EDC format
EASEC generates the credential aligned with the European Learning Model — including competency level, ESCO alignment, issuing institution and assessment evidence.
Sealed with Qualified Electronic Seal
The credential is electronically sealed with a QSeal. Any modification after sealing is immediately detectable — permanent authenticity guaranteed.
Delivered to the student's Europass wallet
The sealed credential is deposited directly into the student's personal Europass wallet — portable, shareable and verifiable for life.
European Soft Skills Certification for Higher Education Institutions
Universities, business schools and higher education institutions issuing Europass credentials through EASEC gain immediate access to the EU's official credentialing infrastructure — without building, hosting or integrating any system of their own.
No infrastructure required
EASEC manages the full EDC issuance process as part of the student certification service. No system to build, host or integrate.
Recognised across Europe and beyond
Europass is the EU's official credentialing standard — recognised by universities, employers and accreditation bodies across all 27 EU member states and increasingly in Latin America and Asia-Pacific.
Stronger quality assurance evidence
Europass credentials provide verifiable evidence of competency development aligned with ESCO and EQF — ready to reference in ANECA, ENQA or internal quality assurance reviews.
Supports international partnerships
Institutions issuing Europass-standard credentials signal alignment with European educational infrastructure — strengthening international partnership applications and supporting learner mobility.
A Verifiable, Portable Credential — Stored for Life in Their Europass Wallet
Every EASEC certification generates a native Europass Digital Credential deposited directly into the student's personal Europass wallet — shareable with employers, usable in recognition procedures and verifiable by any institution worldwide.
Built on Europe's Most Trusted Digital Credential Infrastructure
EASEC credentials are aligned with the full stack of European digital trust and credentialing standards — ensuring long-term recognition, interoperability and legal validity across European educational and labour market contexts.
European Learning Model
The EU's multilingual data model integrating EQF, Europass, ESCO and the Diploma Supplement into a single interoperable standard for describing learning across Europe.
eIDAS 2.0
EU regulation on electronic identification and trust services. EASEC credentials are sealed in compliance with eIDAS — ensuring legal validity of the Qualified Electronic Seal across all EU member states.
EBSI & Open Badges 3.0
European Blockchain Services Infrastructure combined with Open Badges 3.0, the global open standard recognised by credential platforms worldwide, including LinkedIn. EASEC issues in both formats simultaneously.
W3C Verifiable Credentials v1.1

About Europass Digital Credentials
Everything your institution needs to know before issuing Europass credentials through EASEC.
Request institutional demoA European Digital Credential for Learning (EDC) is a verifiable, electronically sealed digital record issued by a legally registered organisation to document a learner's achievement — stored in their Europass wallet for life and verifiable by any employer or institution worldwide.
Yes. EASEC issues native EDCs in the official EU format governed by the Europass Decision and the European Learning Model — sealed with a Qualified Electronic Seal and deposited directly into the student's Europass wallet.
No. EASEC manages the full credential issuance process as part of the student certification service. Credentials are issued in two interoperable formats automatically — no system to build, host or integrate.
EASEC issues credentials in two open, interoperable formats simultaneously: native Europass EDC format — deposited directly into the student's Europass wallet, governed by the European Learning Model and sealed with a Qualified Electronic Seal under eIDAS — and Open Badges 3.0, the global open standard compatible with any compliant wallet worldwide, including LinkedIn. This dual-format approach ensures recognition both within the European credentialing ecosystem and globally.
When EASEC issues a credential, the student receives a notification to their registered email. The credential is deposited directly into their Europass wallet — accessible in the My Library section of their Europass account at any time.
Yes. Every EASEC credential is subject to automatic authentication and verification checks on every view. Credentials can be verified directly at cert.easec.eu/certificates/verify — any modification after sealing is immediately detectable.
Yes. While Europass is the EU's official credentialing standard, its recognition extends well beyond European borders. Multinational companies operating in Latin America, Asia-Pacific and other regions increasingly use European qualification frameworks — including EQF and ESCO — as internal benchmarks for talent evaluation. The simultaneous issuance in Open Badges 3.0 ensures every EASEC certification is legible and verifiable in any labour market context, regardless of geography.
EASEC assessments are multilingual, psychometrically validated instruments aligned with ESCO competency descriptors and EQF level indicators — calibrated to each learner's profile through a short preliminary stage that contextualises the evaluation. Results map to EASEC certification levels 1 to 5, corresponding to EQF levels 1 through 8. For full details on the assessment process, explore the Student Certification page.
