What is the Europass Skills Passport?

The Europass Skills Passport was a tool offered through Europass until 2019.  It allowed users to create a collection of documents in a single file. The Europass Skills Passport is no longer offered however, registered Europass users can now share documents from their Europass Library.

How to describe my digital skills.

You can list, and organise, your digital skills in your Europass profile. You can create a list of all of your digital skills, including tools and software you can use, as well as projects or achievements you are proud of. You can describe the tools you use in your job or studies, as well as the tools you use in your spare-time (e.g. social media, blogging, gaming). You can also organise your skills in different groups, e.g. create a group of digital tools you use for design; or digital skills that you use in your job, or even a list of digital skills you would like to develop. 

How to self-assess your language skills?

You can self-assess your language skills in your Europass profile. To self-assess your skills means that you reflect on your skills, and describe your skills levels. You can complete a simple self-assessment table in your Europass profile to describe your language skills. You can read each of the descriptions in the self-assessment tool and pick the level that you think best describes your listening, reading, spoken interaction, spoken production and writing skills in any language. You also store your language certificates in the Europass library. The self-assessment tool uses the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR).

You can share the self-assessment table from your Europass profile to share with others such as employers, education or training institutions.  

What happened to the Europass Language Passport?

The Europass Language Passport was established as one of the Europass document templates in 2004 as a self-assessment tool for language skills and qualifications.
The current Europass integrated the language passport within the Europass profile as a section called language skills. You are still able to self-assess your language competences based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and can share your results with employers or education institutions as necessary.

What is the Common European Framework for Languages (CEFR)?

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a document prepared by the Council of Europe to describe the results of foreign language learners. The Framework provides a method of learning, teaching and assessment applicable to all European languages, with six reference levels used across the continent as a scale of linguistic competence. To make it easier for users to self-assess their language skills, the Europass profile uses the common European Framework of Reference for Languages self-assessment table.
