The European Learning Model v3.2 provides unprecedented semantic coverage:

• ALL education levels: primary through lifelong learning • ALL frameworks: EQF, NQF, sectoral qualifications • ALL contexts: formal, non-formal, informal, work-based

Built on open standards (RDF/Linked Data), it enables the complete career pathway: Secondary → VET → Higher Ed → Professional → CPD.

One learner. One credential journey. No more silos.
