Language Passport

The Europass Language Passport is a section of the European Language Portfolio, created by the Council of Europe in 1998. In its current form, the ELP is an instrument which accompanies the individual in his/her foreign language learning pathway throughout life. It in fact offers a precise description of the linguistic competences acquired both in a formal environment (school and training) and in other contexts (at work, with friends, in the family etc.). It is a self-assessed and voluntary statement, and thus requires no further validation. It does not substitute formal certifications obtained, either in or outside the school system, but incorporates them systematically in a document that records the complete learning pathway.

Who issues it

The Europass Language Passport is an instrument designed to be filled in by the user. It has no legal value. It can be filled in online or downloaded from the European portal. The site also contains instructions for filling in the form. The document can be filled in on your own or with the help of trainers, language teachers or vocational guidance experts.
