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.
