UK Credit and Qualifications Framework

The UK Credit and Qualifications Framework (CQF) is a system that recognizes learning achievements and qualifications across the UK. It assigns levels to educational programs, from basic skills to advanced degrees, helping to compare the complexity and difficulty of different qualifications. Credits are used to measure the learning hours or work needed to complete a course. The framework ensures consistency and transparency, making it easier for learners, employers, and institutions to understand the value and equivalence of various educational achievements and skills across different sectors and regions.
