Accredit your programme with the European standard for transversal competencies.
Align your learning outcomes with ESCO, EQF and WEF Future of Jobs 2025. Obtain the EASEC seal, publish your verified institutional profile in the public registry, and generate structured evidence for your quality processes — with no curricular redesign required.
Request programme accreditationYour programme already develops transversal competencies. Accreditation makes it verifiable.
Quality assurance frameworks increasingly demand demonstrable evidence of competency outcomes — not statements of intent, but structured, verifiable documentation.
The process works with the documentation you already have, maps it against internationally recognised standards, and generates the alignment report ready for use in quality reviews or accreditation with external bodies.
EASEC Programme Accreditation assesses whether your programme's learning outcomes align with ESCO v1.2.1, EQF descriptors, and the WEF Future of Jobs 2025 framework.
Four steps. From application to accredited seal.
A structured process designed to work with your existing documentation — no curricular redesign, no operational disruption.
Express your interest
Submit the institutional application indicating the number of programmes, the desired accreditation period — 1, 2, or 3 years — and whether your institution may qualify for international cooperation conditions.
Programme review
Share the programme's structured documentation — learning outcomes, competency frameworks in use, and assessment methods — so the EASEC team can guide the alignment process with ESCO, EQF, and WEF.
Guided alignment
Use EASEC's alignment tools to map your programme's competencies against recognised European standards and document the outcomes. The process works with the academic structure that already exists — without modifying it.
Seal, public profile & registry
Receive the EASEC accreditation seal valid for the chosen period. Your institution's verified profile — with accredited programmes, active certifications, developed competencies, and your students' top five performance areas — is published in the public registry at easec.eu.
Four institutional assets from the day accreditation is granted.
Everything your institution needs to demonstrate, communicate, and sustain its commitment to European competency standards.
An internationally recognised quality seal, valid for the chosen accreditation period, signalling to employers, academic partners, and prospective students that your programme is aligned with European transversal competency standards.
The alignment process generates documented mapping of your programme's learning outcomes against ESCO v1.2.1, EQF descriptors, and WEF Future of Jobs 2025 — ready to reference directly in ANECA, ENQA, or internal quality reviews.
Throughout the accreditation period, your institution has access to the EASEC alignment platform and institutional guidance team. Periodic review processes are designed to support continuous improvement without adding administrative burden.
Open to institutions from any region seeking alignment with European standards.
Any institution with defined learning outcomes and a structured approach to competency development may apply — regardless of where it is based.
Universities, business schools, polytechnics, continuing education centres, and structured training providers with defined learning outcomes — based in Europe or beyond.
Especially relevant for institutions facing international accreditation reviews, competing for partnerships with European partners, or seeking to offer graduates credentials recognised in the European and international labour market.
What academic teams ask before applying.
Three common questions. Answered directly.
EASEC does not compete with ANECA, ENQA, or any national accreditation framework — it complements them. Whilst national accreditation certifies programme quality within a regulatory context, EASEC accreditation adds what national frameworks do not cover: documented alignment with ESCO, EQF and WEF Future of Jobs 2025, and a verified profile that employers and international partners can consult directly.
There is no need. The alignment process works with the structure and documentation you already have. The guided mapping identifies how your current learning outcomes already correspond to European competency standards — and documents them in a format ready for quality reports and accreditation.
The process is designed to minimise institutional burden. EASEC provides the alignment tools, the competency mapping framework, and the guidance team. Your institution contributes the programme documentation that already exists. Periodic review processes do not generate additional administrative burden for academic or quality teams.
The universities already certifying with EASEC.
Institutions across Europe that have made competency certification a verifiable, externally recognised part of their academic offer.
Frequently asked questions
Everything your quality and academic coordination team needs to know before applying.
Request programme accreditationWhether the programme's learning outcomes align with European transversal competency standards — ESCO v1.2.1, EQF descriptors, and WEF Future of Jobs 2025. Accredited programmes receive the EASEC quality seal and are published on the verified institutional profile at easec.eu.
No. The process works with the structure and documentation your programme already has. The guided mapping identifies how your current learning outcomes already correspond to European standards — and documents them in a format ready for quality reports and external accreditation.
Between 6 and 10 weeks from the application to the decision, depending on the programme's complexity and the availability of documentation from the institutional team. EASEC assigns a guidance specialist throughout the entire process to keep timelines to a minimum.
Structured programme documentation that already exists: defined learning outcomes, competency frameworks in use, and assessment methods applied. No documentation created specifically for EASEC is required.
Yes. Institutions with at least one accredited programme are eligible to certify students enrolled under the EASEC framework. Certifications issued are reflected in the institutional public profile with aggregated competency data. Student certification is managed independently — see the Student Certification page for full details.
Each programme is accredited individually and appears separately on the institutional public profile. Institutions accrediting more than one programme in the same application may be eligible for volume adjustments — please consult us before submitting the application.
Institutions receive notification before expiry and an invitation to renew through a simplified review process. Those that do not renew will be removed from the easec.eu public registry and the seal will no longer be valid for new student certifications.
Yes. Accreditation is open to institutions from any region. It is especially relevant for those seeking alignment with European standards for international accreditation reviews, partnerships with European partners, or graduate employability in European and international labour markets.
