Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework

The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) is a structured system that helps understand and compare different qualifications in Scotland. It contains levels that indicate the complexity and depth of learning, from basic skills to advanced academic knowledge. Each level corresponds to a specific number of credits, which reflect the amount of learning involved. This framework aids students, employers, and educational institutions by providing clarity about what skills and knowledge are represented by various qualifications, promoting lifelong learning and enabling smoother transitions between different education paths and career opportunities.
