SCQF (Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework)

The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) is a system that helps to organize and compare different qualifications in Scotland. It uses a series of levels, from Level 1 (basic skills) to Level 12 (doctorates), to indicate the complexity of learning. Each level has associated credits, which represent the amount of learning time required. The SCQF aims to provide a clear understanding of educational achievements, support lifelong learning, and facilitate the transfer of skills between different areas of study or work, making it easier for individuals to progress in their education or career.
