Abstract
On an EU policy level the paper acknowledges the impact on thinking about AP(E)L as a result of the agreement of common European principles for validation of non-formal and in-formal learning in 2004 at the Dublin Conference during Ireland’s presidency of the EU (note 1).This conference also addressed the possible areas of agreement across vocational education and training (VET) and higher education (HE) on contiguous issues such as a common European Qualification Framework, common arrangements for credit transfer and common arrangements for quality assurance. Additionally, the paper is written contemporaneously with the introduction of such mechanisms as the Europass, European CV, Mobilipass, European Language Portfolio, Diploma Supplement and Certificate Supplement, which are all underpinned by the broad principles of flexibility, mobility, transferability and mutual recognition of qualifications and learning (note 2).
