World Reference Levels (WRL) is a tool that facilitates the comparison of qualifications and skills.
It helps those with a stake in the outcomes of learning - authorities, institutions, employers and individuals - to understand, compare and recognize skills, qualifications, other kinds of credential and learning achievements, both on a national level and across borders.
The WRL is developed by UNESCO in collaboration with experts, international partners and regional organizations that oversee regional qualification frameworks. The tool is based on research of level descriptors in a wide range of qualification frameworks and job evaluation programmes, and was designed to complement and work together with other systems of managing and recognizing qualifications and outcomes.
