Abstract	In this paper, the issues involved in aligning national and meta-frameworks are explored and analysed. The exploration is timely, given that two qualifications meta-frameworks are currently being developed and implemented in Europe: the question is now how relationships should be established between these new reference tools and national qualifications structures and systems. Drawing on recent experiences in Ireland of comparing the national framework of qualifications with the Bologna framework and the emerging European qualifications framework, the paper addresses some of the methodological issues in establishing such alignment and identifies a process that may be useful as a starting-point in developing common approaches to be adopted by other countries in undertaking these tasks.
