Europass facilitates the recognition of skills and qualifications of citizens across all EU countries and supports them in the process of moving abroad to work or study. Europass promotes the free movement of workers between the EU and its neighbouring countries.
33 European countries have joined the Europass project. In addition to EU Member States, Norway, Iceland, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Turkey and North Macedonia also participate in Europass.
A National Europass Centre has been created in every EU country that participates in Europass. These centres are responsible for providing access to Europass documents to all those interested and for promoting the use of Europass, including through co-operation with partners from private, public and non-governmental sectors.
The Europass Centre in Estonia started operations under the Estonian Qualifications Authority on 1 May 2005.
As of 2020, Europass is primarily a pan-European website where people can quickly and easily present and share their qualifications and work and study experience in digital format and search for additional information.
The European Commission provides this service free of any charge and in 29 different languages, including Estonian.
