About the Swedish National Agency for Higher Vocational Education

The Swedish National Agency for Higher Vocational Education is responsible for all matters concerning higher vocational education (HVE) throughout the country.

We analyse the demand for qualified workforce in the labour market, decide which programmes are to be provided as higher vocational education and allocate public funding to education providers.

We are also responsible for an extensive quality assurance program that aims to preserve and maintain high educational standards.

In addition, the Agency administrates occupational entry level training courses.

The Agency is also responsible for the assessment of foreign higher vocational education.

We are also responsible for coordinating the national framework for prior learning and validation, as well as serving as the national coordinator for the EQF - the European Qualifications Framework.
