A set of learning outcomes described in the Integrated Qualifications Register whose achievement is formally confirmed by an authorised institution. A qualification described in the register may be full or partial.

Not all qualifications awarded in Poland shall be entered into the IQR thus a term “kwalifikacja zarejestrowana” (registered qualification) has been coined which indicates a qualification included into the integrated system, fulfilling specified quality criteria.

Each registered qualification is assigned a PQF level and this way it is referenced to the EQF level.
