Qualifications are divided as follows:
- formal education qualifications – general education (basic and upper secondary education), vocational education, higher education;
- professional qualifications, i.e. professions.
The part of a qualification subject to independent description and assessment is partial qualification. Partial qualifications are, for example, foreign language skills, a course in a subject, final paper, or partial profession. Partial qualifications are often obtained upon completing adult education courses.
