EU Certificates Day 2009
The ECQA (European Certification and Qualification Association) represents a Europe-wide organisation to run exams and issue certificates based on European exam systems and supporting a pool of European professions. ECQA's strategy is to create around EuroSPI a school of innovation, improvement and SPI in Europe.
In the EU Cert Campus project a pool of European professions is placed in an online work placed learning system which allows to access training from every work place in Europe directly.
The EU Cert Day illustrates success stories from existing professions and disseminates new professions (which entered the pool in 2009).
The EU Certificates day is an associated event of the EuroSPI Conferences. More information about both events can be found under:
