Kvalifikationsrammer fremmer livslang uddannelse ved f.eks. at gøre det lettere for folk at skifte mellem forskellige typer af almene og faglige uddannelsesinstitutioner, f.eks. fra en erhvervsuddannelse til en videregående uddannelse.
Qualifications frameworks promote lifelong learning by, for example, making it easier for people to move between different types of education and training institutions, for example from vocational training to higher education.
