The Regulated Qualification Framework (RQF)

recognises achievement through awarding credits for units and qualifications.

The RQF Provides:

A consistent approach to vocational qualifications.

Accessible routes to achieving qualifications.

Qualifications that can be studied in smaller steps to support career based learning.

Qualifications that use the RQF rules are made up of units. This provides flexible ways to get a qualification. Each unit has a  credit value which tells you how many credits are awarded when a unit is completed. Units build up to qualifications. For the Diploma qualification you need over 37 credits. Units and qualifications are each given a level according to their difficulty, from entry level to level 8. The title of a qualification will tell you its size and level. If a qualification includes a unit that you have already been awarded, you can use the unit you have already taken towards that qualification. Units awarded by  different  awarding organizations can be combined to build up qualifications.
