The Qualification Credit Framework (QCF)
The Qualification Credit Framework (QCF) is the vehicle for recognising qualifications within England, Wales and Northern Ireland and, for most vocational qualifications, is a replacement to the National Qualification Framework (NQF). The QCF allows the learner to work toward credits from units or qualifications.
QCF qualifications have both a level (entry to 8) and a size allocated to them(Award/Certificate/Diploma) and each unit is awarded a credit value. The unit credit value is a direct correlation of how many learning hours should be put into the achievement of that unit, for example 10 hours equates to 1 credit value.
