Recognition of non-formal and informal learningFormal learning: Learning that occurs in an organised and structured environment and is explicitly designated as learning. Formal learning isintentional from the learners point of view.Informal learning: Learning resulting from daily activities related to work, family or leisure. It is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time or learning support. Informal learning is mostly unintentional from the learners perspective.Nonformal learning: Learning which is embedded in planned activities not always explicitly designated as learning but which contain an important learning element. Nonformal learning is intentional from the learners point of view.Validation of learning outcomes: The confirmation by a competent body that learning outcomesacquired by an individual in a formal, nonformal or informal setting have been assessed against predefined criteria and are compliant with the requirements of a validation standard. Validation typically leads to certification.CEDEFOP (2009)
