What is SCQF ?
Because there are so many different types of qualifications , it ’ s a good idea to be able to compare them all . That ’ s where the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework ( SCQF ) can help . The SCQF has aligned all of Scotland ’ s different qualifications to a universal level based on their difficulty .
The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework ( SCQF ) covers qualifications gained at school , college , university , and in the workplace . It gives each qualification a level – the higher the number of the level , the more difficult the qualification is .
