Europass portal:

The most popular tools among Europass users are by far the CV Creator and the Cover Letter Creator. In addition to this, users can create a personal profile in more than one language to record their education and job experiences, and update the description of their skills, competences and other job-relevant details. Users can also access an advanced digital skills test and incorporate the results into their CVs and Profiles. Finally, registered users can store all the documents created on the portal in a secure online space, called the Europass Library.

If users do not wish to register on the Europass portal, they are still able to use its most relevant tools, such as the CV Creator, Cover Letter Creator and Test Your Digital Skills tool.
