Key EQF levels of qualifications in FSS • First recommendation: EQF levels 3-6 • Verification upon collection of examples of existing qualifications • Opinions and Recommendations by Relay Partners welcomed
3 business processes for analysis: • Criteria for selection • Scale (a number of employees involved, which encourages certification) • Importance for strategy implementation (most profit generation) • Need for qualifications (processes which benefit from qualifications) • Processes chosen: SME banking, savings and investment, compliance
