"This document arises from a mandate given by the E.C.C.O. committee at the General Assembly held in March 2008 to propose entry level competences and the proficiency of a person qualifying to use the title of Conservator-Restorer. It corresponds to the Descriptors given in the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) Level 7, which equates to a postgraduate academic Master degree in accordance with E.C.C.O./ENCoRE guidelines. The work supports the delivery of the professional Conservator-Restorer qualification through an academic route but it is acknowledged that there are other routes into the profession that provide a similar level of skills, knowledge and competence."
