The e-Competence Framework (e-CF) has become an official European standard for ICT competencies. It provides a reference of 40 ICT competencies across 5 areas and 4 dimensions that can be used by ICT professionals, managers, educators, and partners. The e-CFplus under development will expand on this framework with a certification system and professional services. AICA is also developing e-CFplus Fundamentals and ITAF based on the European Foundational ICT Body of Knowledge core competencies. Previous efforts like EUCIP were not fully successful but helped inform current focus on competencies and European certifications.
