Skills

A skill is an acquired ability to carry out specific activities and tasks effectively and to solve problems.

In the terminology used in the IQS, “skills” are one of the three categories of learning outcomes. In the requirements for individual qualifications, skills relate to a particular field of learning or professional activity.

In everyday language, as well as in some studies and documents, the terms “skills”, “knowledge”, “competences” and “qualifications” are often used interchangeably.
