The relationship between some relevant action verbs and the EQF levels and the levels of autonomy are reported in Table 3 and Table 4. This is just to illustrate one of the ways adopted by the ECCE partnership to position ECCE LOs onto the EQF level diagram. The other way to verify this positioning was through conducted surveys.
