The Integrated Qualifications System – overall solutions for establishing, awarding and assuring the quality of qualifications included in the Integrated Qualifications Register. The integrated qualifications system will be the core component of the national qualifications system (NQS). The integrated qualifications system features elements which are already present in the social and economic life of Poland, as well as currently developed measures that will facilitate the effective integration of the entire system, i.e., the Polish Qualifications Framework (PQF), the Integrated Qualifications Register (IQR), common terminology and general principles for the quality assurance of qualifications. Qualifications outside of the integrated system for which there is a social demand will continue to be available in Poland, but they will not be assigned to a PQF level or entered into the IQR. The integrated qualifications system is a key lifelong learning policy tool. Its effectiveness depends not only establishing sound legal and organisational regulations or the commitment of institutions and organisations operating within its framework, but also on society’s understanding of these solutions. In the long-term perspective, society’s understanding of the national qualifications system, of the new opportunities that will emerge as a result of its modernisation, may be the most important factor in achieving the goals for which these activities were undertaken. Therefore, it will be essential to promote and popularise information about these issues, among other ways, by publishing periodical reports about Polish qualifications. The integrated qualifications system will include all aspects related to the validation of learning outcomes undertaken in Poland. It will become a tool to facilitate implementation of the state’s lifelong learning policy based on a partnership of central government, territorial government, employers, employees and civil society. Developing the national qualifications system is a task of state authorities. Ministers directly accountable for qualifications will have a special role to play. Implementation of the integrated qualifications system will provide the substantive support for their activities. A pivotal role within the system will also be played by an internet portal (the NQS portal), facilitating access to information and contributing to greater transparency of the overall system. The effectiveness of the system will also depend on social partners; therefore, it is essential to adequately identify their role and joint responsibilities. The ongoing commitment of stakeholders is vital for the successful implementation of the national qualifications system. The integrated qualifications register is an essential lifelong learning policy tool to benefit various stakeholder groups: * It creates new prospects for personal development and career planning in Poland and abroad for individuals seeking to obtain qualifications. * It provides employers with assistance not only in hiring persons with the appropriate competences, but also in better planning activities to support the professional development of their employees. * It provides public agencies, institutions and non-governmental organisations performing various public tasks with greater access to a repository of information about the qualifications available in the market. ==Bibliography== * Słownik podstawowych terminów dotyczących krajowego systemu kwalifikacji, ed.
