Skills without evidence are just claims.
This is the standard that changes that.
EASEC is an independent European certification body — not a training provider, not a government agency, not a consultancy. Since 2010, our sole purpose has been to make transversal competencies visible, comparable and verifiable, under the international frameworks that institutions and employers worldwide recognise.
You have questions. Every serious institution does.
Before any organisation adopts a certification standard, three questions deserve honest, direct answers — not marketing copy. Here they are.
An independent certification body.
Not a training provider. Not a consultancy.
The distinction matters — strategically and in terms of trust.
EASEC does not sell training or development programmes.
EASEC does not offer advisory or implementation services.
EASEC does not benefit commercially from the learning journey that precedes certification.
EASEC assesses what individuals can actually do.
EASEC certifies competencies against validated European standards.
EASEC issues verifiable Europass Digital Credentials. That is the entire scope of our function.
An accreditation body that also sells training has a conflict of interest in every evaluation it conducts. EASEC has none. When EASEC accredits a programme or certifies a competency, the evaluation is independent by design — not by policy.
That independence is precisely what makes the seal worth something.
Founded 2010. Recognised 2026.
Operating across 60+ countries.
Fourteen years of independent operation — with the framework alignments, institutional adoption and recognition to show for it.

The only standard covering schools, universities and organisations under a single European framework
EASEC certifies the same 32 transversal competencies across three institutional contexts — from secondary school students aged 12 through to senior professionals. Credentials are fully interoperable: a student certified at school level builds on that record at university and carries it into professional life. One continuous, verifiable thread of evidence across an entire career.
No other certification body does this. Not under a single European standard. Not with verifiable Europass Digital Credentials. Not aligned with ESCO, EQF and the WEF simultaneously.
Four frameworks.
One legal architecture. Zero ambiguity.
EASEC integrates four internationally recognised references into a single coherent model, anchored in EU legal instruments that carry weight across borders — not a proprietary framework that exists only within its own ecosystem.
Alignment with these frameworks is not declared — it is documented. And it is protected by EU legal infrastructure. Every EASEC credential is issued as a native Europass Digital Credential — sealed with a Qualified Electronic Seal under eIDAS 2.0 and recorded in the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) for tamper-proof verification. All assessment data and personal records are processed in full compliance with GDPR and ISO 27001.
Any credential can be verified in real time by any employer, institution or authority — using the unique code or QR embedded in the credential. No account required. No cost. No delay. The record is never deleted.
