Qualifications and Credit Framework

The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is a system used to organize and recognize qualifications in education and training. It helps to clarify the levels and credit values of different qualifications, making it easier for learners, employers, and educational institutions to understand and compare them. Each qualification is assigned a specific level, indicating its complexity, and has a certain number of credits based on the amount of study required. This framework supports lifelong learning by allowing individuals to build their skills and qualifications progressively, promoting clear pathways for career development and further education.
