European and National Recognition of Vocational Qualifications and Competences in Tourism. The paper seeks to look at the present system of recognition of qualifications and vocational competences operating nationally and internationally in an attempt to enhance the recognition of certificates and diplomas. Since the recognition system is, first of all, a twofold process, the study examines, on the one hand, the way the nationally awarded diplomas are recognized by European forums and, on the other, it seeks to consider ways in which diplomas acquired in Europe can be recognized by the Romanian national authorities. The study first looks at the documents that regulate tourism training in Romania and then proceeds to discuss the norms that regulate the ‘certification’ of qualification and competences acquired in other European countries as a result of formal or non-formal training. The paper provides, finally, a way to acquire European and national recognition.

Keywords: tourism education, framework, competences, qualification, certification, accreditation.
