Observations FORMAL EDUCATION: Education and training given in a system of schools, colleges, universities and other institutions of education in which the learning is organised, assessed and certificated under the responsibility of qualified education and training professionals. It includes enrolment, attendance and formal certification recognised by the national authorities. It constitutes a hierarchical succession of education and training, where the completion of one level allows the student to progress to higher levels.

NON FORMAL LEARNING: Training that normally takes place in more or less organised institutional structures and may result in certification. However, this type of certification is not usually recognised by the national authorities and does not allow progression through the levels of educationand training.
