There is a clear and demonstrable link between the qualifications levels in the
national qualifications framework or system and the level descriptors of the EQF.
The link between the qualifications levels of the Hellenic Qualifications
Framework (HQF) and the level descriptors of the EQF derives in the first instance
from the use of the EQF descriptors as guidelines for the development of the
HQF levels. The primary function of the HQF is to be an instrument for referencing
to the EQF, and the HQF development process had, from the outset, the
objective of developing a structure of eight levels corresponding to the levels
of the EQF. The EQF descriptors were modified and elaborated to adapt them
to the particular context of the Greek qualifications system, but the overall

correspondence of the levels in the two frameworks is close. This can be
demonstrated by a comparison of

• the structures of the two frameworks.
• the conceptual basis of the two frameworks.
