QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework)

The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) was a system in the UK designed to help people understand different qualifications and how they relate to one another. It provided a way to recognize and measure skills and learning through credits, allowing learners to build qualifications step-by-step. Each qualification was made up of units, with each unit assigned a specific number of credits based on the learning time required. This framework aimed to make it easier for individuals to achieve their educational goals and for employers to understand the qualifications of potential employees.
