National competence marks for basic skills, or KAPOS marks
KAPOS marks are used to identify, recognize and make visible wide-ranging expertise. The marks focus on basic skills that are needed both in everyday life and in study and working life. The Board of Education has defined the national Competence objectives and evaluation criteria for the marks, which can be found here Competence marks – ePerustet . Marks can be completed as free educational work at educational institutions. The approved performance is recorded in the Koski database with the customer's consent, and the customer can see their mark in the Oma Opintopolku service, where it can be attached, e.g. to the CV.
Themes of competence marks
- Learning skills
- Texting skills
