Spain

The correlation of the Spanish model with the EQF is made from the Spanish
Qualifications Framework (Marco Español de Cualificaciones - MECU), which
includes qualifications obtained in compulsory, post-secondary and higher
education, and will integrate validation of non-formal and informal learning
processes. The MECU is therefore the product of the sum of the National
Catalogue of Professional Qualifications (CNCP) and the Spanish Framework of
Qualifications for Higher Education (MECES).

These specifications are superimposed on level 3 of the CNCP, which would
correspond to level 1 of the MECES and level 5 of the EQF, establishing as higher
education the corresponding to the title of Higher Vocational Training
Technician (Table 1).
The higher four level of MECU will be linked to the qualification’s framework of
higher education (Marco Español de Cualificaciones para la Educación
Superior- MECES).

This framework has been self-certified against the framework for qualifications
of the European Higher Education Area as part of Spain’s continuing
commitment to the Bologna process. The self-certification followed the
procedures and criteria set down for such work within the Bologna process and
involved a committee of senior Spanish and international experts and
stakeholders.
