3 Standard text 4 This text is a general summary of QCF qualifications and recognition. The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is part of the wider Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales (CQFW). These frameworks allow people and organisations to compare all types of qualifications and learning achievements at all levels. The CQFW is endorsed by the Welsh Assembly Government. This means that any qualification within the framework has been through a quality-assurance process to make sure it meets a set standard. Standard text 5 This text summarises the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) design principles. All qualifications in the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) are built up of units of learning. Every unit in the QCF has a fixed credit value. The credit value indicates how long it takes to complete the unit. One credit is equal to 10 hours of learning time. The number of credits a unit is worth is decided when the qualification is designed. Units are combined together, using rules of combination, to create qualifications. This could mean, for example, a combination of mandatory units (ones that have to be achieved) and optional units. There are three sizes of qualifications in the QCF: award (1 to 12 credits); certificate (13 to 36 credits); and diploma (37 or more credits). These sizes apply to qualifications at all levels. Every unit and qualification has a level between entry level and level 8, which indicates how challenging it is. To illustrate how the different levels within the QCF relate to other qualifications: GCSE (grade A* to C) is equivalent to a level 2 qualification; GCE A level is equivalent to a level 3 qualification; and an honours degree is equivalent to a level 6 qualification. Full descriptions of the different levels are given on the CQFW website at This tableshows the breakdown of each qualification size. Award Certificate Diploma 1-12 credits credits 37 or more credits hours of learning time Entry Level - Level hours of learning time 370 hours or more of learning time Standard text 6 This text summarises the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) design partners. Qualifications within the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) have been designed by Awarding Organisations, with input from Sector Skills Councils (SSCs), to meet employers needs. Standard text 7 This text summarises the aims of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF). The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) brings all vocational qualifications into a standard format which is easy to understand. Qualifications are described by their size, level, subject and purpose. This can help [people/learners/you] choose suitable qualifications and see how [they/you] can progress towards [their/your] goals.
4 Standard text 8 This text summarises regulatory arrangements. The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is jointly regulated by the Welsh Assembly Government, the Department for Children, Education, Lifelong Learning and Skills in Wales, and Ofqual (the Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation in England and Northern Ireland). Sector Skills Councils, which represent employers, are responsible for approving qualifications for their sector. Standard text 9 This text summarises the relationship between the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales (CQFW) and the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). has been aligned with the European Qualifications Framework (EQF). This means that the level of a qualification gained in Wales can be compared to a level in the EQF. This helps people and organisations to translate achievements between countries and work across the EU. Annex 1 summary of levels Entry 1 recognises progress along a continuum that ranges from the most elementary of achievements to beginning to make use of skills, knowledge or understanding that relate to the immediate environment. Achievement at entry 2 reflects the ability to make use of skills, knowledge and understanding to carry out simple, familiar tasks and activities with guidance.
