Upcoming launch of the European Learning Model v3
UPDATE: The European Learning Model v.3 was launched in April 2023. You can browse the ELM in our datamodel browser or visit our Introduction to the ELM page.’
What is the ELM?
Європейський цифровий сертифікат про навчання (EDC) є перевірюваною цифровою версією сертифіката, виданого організацією здобувачу освіти, щоб задокументувати його навчання. До них належать дипломи, сертифікати про професійну підготовку, мікросертифікати, сертифікати про участь тощо. Вони можуть бути видані всіма мовами ЄС і мовами Europass та засвідчуються електронною печаткою (форма цифрового підпису, що належить довіреній установі або організації).
If you already registered a Europass account, you already have a built-in credential wallet. This wallet is similar to a bank account, where third parties can transfer your learning credentials to. You can give your wallet address to any party for direct credential depositing purposes, but this will not allow them to see the credentials already stored in your wallet.
Where do I find my credentials?
If you have an Europass eportfolio, you find them under ‘Certificates and Diplomas’ in My Library. Other wallet implementers might have a different structural setup.
