Abstract
Starting with an insight into the history of ideas and practices,
the recommendations by UNESCO and European Commission, and efforts by
the Republic of Croatia in creating conditions (legislative and otherwise) for
acknowledgement of knowledge and competences gained through non-formal and informal learning to become certified qualifications, in respect to Croatian Qualification Framework, this article presents prerequisites for building up a system of gaining certified qualifications in the Republic of Croatia based on examination and assessment of knowledge and competences of adults, which were gained outside the context of a formal school (non-formal and informal learning).
