This article addresses the issue of valorizing on the concept of “competence” in the non-formal education system. The notions of “non-formal education” and “extracurricular education” are broadly defined, the emphasis being on the approach to non-formal and, specifically, extracurricular education from the perspective of competences. The advantages of this approach are argued and a classification of competences for this education system is proposed. Keywords: non-formal education, non-formal learning, extracurricular education, extracurricular learning, key competences, general competences, specific competences, fields, and profiles of extracurricular education.
