The Act of 22 December 2015 on the Integrated Qualifications System (Ustawa o Zintegrowanym Systemie Kwalifikacji), with its core part that came into force on 15 January 2016, assigns the levels of the Polish Qualifications Framework (PQF) to individual qualifications awarded, for example, within school education (Art. 8 of the Act). Thus the awarding institutions can indicate the relevant levels of the PQF on school certificates and diplomas, and on other documents conferring qualifications, which facilitates transborder comparison of qualifications. For further details, see the Integrated Qualifications System website.

The overview of the qualifications and the corresponding levels of the PQF is available in Chapter 7.5 ‘Validation of non-formal and informal learning’.
