RQF (Regulated Qualifications Framework)

The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) is a system used in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland to categorize and compare qualifications based on their level and difficulty. It helps learners, employers, and educational institutions understand the value of different qualifications. The framework ranges from entry-level qualifications (like basic skills) to advanced ones (such as doctorates). Each qualification is assigned a level, indicating how complex and demanding it is. The RQF ensures consistency in education and training, making it easier for individuals to progress in their learning and career paths.
