  • NOMENCLATURE EXPLAINED: a Guide to Naming Qualifications and Learning Programmes for the SCQF
    NOMENCLATURE EXPLAINED: A Guide to Naming Qualifications and Learning Programmes for the SCQF Nomenclature Explained ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// THE SCOTTISH CREDIT AND QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) is Scotland’s lifelong learning framework. It contains the qualifications frameworks of the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and Scottish Higher Education (HE). The SCQF aims to: 1. help people of all ages and circumstances to access appropriate education and training over their lifetime to fulfil their personal, social and economic potential; 2. enable employers, learners and the public in general to understand the full range of Scottish qualifications, how the qualifications relate to each other and how different types of qualifications can contribute to improving the skills of the workforce. The SCQF is managed by the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework Partnership whose members include Scottish Government, higher education and college sectors, employers and SQA. Although it is not a regulatory body the SCQF Partnership maintains the quality and use of the Framework as a whole. The SCQF diagram portrays the frameworks of HE, SQA and Scottish Vocational Qualifications (SVQs). However, the Framework also currently contains over 400 qualifications and learning programmes such as non-formal learning programmes offered in the community or by employers, professional bodies, vendors such as Microsoft and those offered by Awarding Bodies other than SQA. The SCQF uses two measures to recognise learning: Level and Credit. Level provides an indication of the level of difficulty of a qualification or learning programme. This is based on one set of SCQF Level Descriptors which are developmental from SCQF Level 1 to 12.

Optometrists are trained to supply and fit (dispense) optical appliances such as spectacles, contact lenses and low vision aids. Optometrists are also trained to undertake assessment of binocular vision and to diagnose and manage (non-pathological) binocular vision anomalies. In the United Kingdom (UK), the optometry profession is the largest provider of primary eye care, and is responsible for a significant proportion of ophthalmic referrals to the secondary care sector. Many of these referrals are of patients with sight-threatening conditions, including cataract, glaucoma, hypertension and diabetes. The overall aim of the accelerated degree programme in optometry is to build upon the student’s previous experience as a dispensing optician in order to allow a student to carry out all the functions described above, to communicate skilfully and knowledgeably with patients and other professionals, and to uphold high standards of professional integrity and behaviour.

  • Classifying Educational Programmes
    Classifying Educational Programmes Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries 1999 Edition ORGANISATION FOR ECONOMIC CO-OPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT Foreword As the structure of educational systems varies widely between countries, a framework to collect and report data on educational programmes with a similar level of educational content is a clear prerequisite for the production of internationally comparable education statistics and indicators. In 1997, a revised International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-97) was adopted by the UNESCO General Conference. This multi-dimensional framework has the potential to greatly improve the comparability of education statistics – as data collected under this framework will allow for the comparison of educational programmes with similar levels of educational content – and to better reflect complex educational pathways in the OECD indicators. The purpose of Classifying Educational Programmes: Manual for ISCED-97 Implementation in OECD Countries is to give clear guidance to OECD countries on how to implement the ISCED-97 framework in international data collections. First, this manual summarises the rationale for the revised ISCED framework, as well as the defining characteristics of the ISCED-97 levels and cross-classification categories for OECD countries, emphasising the criteria that define the boundaries between educational levels. The methodology for applying ISCED-97 in the national context that is described in this manual has been developed and agreed upon by the OECD/INES Technical Group, a working group on education statistics and indicators representing 29 OECD countries. The OECD Secretariat has also worked closely with both EUROSTAT and UNESCO to ensure that ISCED-97 will be implemented in a uniform manner across all countries.
