The aim of this document is to enable unbiased and consistent use of indicators and measurements to enable verification of an individual's competence to the EN 16234-1 (e-CF) to facilitate its consistent application.

The document addresses the assessment of competence as articulated within the EN 16234-1 (e-CF), regardless of where, when and how the competence was attained or developed.

The aim is to provide guidance on the use of indicators and measurements to support the assessment and/or verification of an IT professional's competence.

Guidance is confined to possible indicators and how they can be applied to achieve consistency and transparency for the verification of an e-CF competence at a specific level (1-5).

This document guides readers through objective assessment of e-CF competence to avoid possible influence from personal feelings, interpretations or prejudice.

Finally, this document aims to offer, at least, examples of indicators and metrics for each of the e-competences listed in EN 16234-1 (e-CF).
