What is Europass?

Five documents to make your skills and qualifications clearly and easily understood in Europe:

- Two documents freely accessible, completed by European citizens:

• the Curriculum Vitae helps you present your skills and qualifications effectively and clearly. You can create your CV online using tutorials or download the template, examples and instructions.
• the Language Passport is a self-assessment tool for language skills and qualifications. You can create your Language Passport online using tutorials or download the template, examples and instructions.

- Three documents issued by education and training authorities:

• the Europass Mobility records the knowledge and skills acquired in another European country;
• the Certificate Supplement describes the knowledge and skills acquired by holders of vocational education and training certificates;
• the Diploma Supplement describes the knowledge and skills acquired by holders of higher education degrees.
