Validation of non-formal and informal learning – Kosovo

The Validation of Non-formal and Informal Learning (VNFIL) is an important instrument in the broad development policy of a qualified labour force in a country. In Kosovo it is at a relatively early stage, as it is implemented on a small scale. It has the necessary mechanisms and instruments, in terms of legal infrastructure and skilled human resources, to extend the process to benefit individuals in need of the VNFIL services. The VNFIL system which has been established in Kosovo aims to upskill the labour force appropriately and increase the employment rates, and it is defined as the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).
