QCF/NVQs
Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)
What is the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)?
The QCF is a way of recognising achievement – through the award of credit for units and qualifications – across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It provides flexible routes to gaining full qualifications through Awards, Certificates and Diplomas and, enables progression to be achieved in smaller steps through the accumulation of credit.
Each qualification is assigned a unique title which will indicate:
- The level (difficulty)
- Size (Award, Certificate or Diploma)
- Subject content
- And sometimes terminology to indicate the qualification purpose (eg. NVQ).
The programmes are flexible and can be tailored to meet the needs of the organisation and those of the learner.
