Europass is a free service of the European Union that includes a standard CV format. Many European employers and institutions know it, and some public bodies ask for it.
The main sections
- Personal information
- Work experience and Education and training — newest first, with dates
- Language skills — the CEFR self-assessment grid: Listening, Reading, Spoken interaction, Spoken production and Writing, each from A1 to C2
- Digital skills, driving licence and other information
When to use it
Use the Europass structure when an employer or programme asks for it, or when you apply across several EU countries. For private companies with online application systems, a clean ATS-friendly layout often works better.
In AdmitsFair
Our EU Standard template follows the Europass structure, including the full language grid. AdmitsFair is not the official Europass service and is not affiliated with the European Union.
