The EQF uses 8 levels, and many European countries, including Ireland, have aligned their national frameworks (like the NFQ) with the EQF. This means that your NFQ qualification can be mapped to an equivalent EQF level, making it easier to understand across Europe.

The eight levels of EQF cover the entire span of qualifications from those achieved at the end of compulsory education to those awarded at the highest level of academic and professional or vocational education and training.
