EQM further development
The evolution and promotion of the EQM are an ongoing process. Autumn 2014 four partners from Nordic and Baltic countries started a development project funded by Nordplus Adult on improving and developing the quality accreditation system EQM, European Quality Mark, for providers of non-formal adult learning and the project ended in 2016 with renewed versions of the EQM products which are published on this site.

About the EQM
The EQM is a quality mark initially jointly developed by partners from eight European countries in a Leonardo da Vinci partnership project.
The development of the EQM and review of criteria is now done by four North-European countries with the support of the Nordic Council of Ministers under the Nordplus adult program.
