APPENDECES

National Qualifications Framework

The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) is a credit transfer system developed for qualifications in England, Wales, Namibia and Northern Ireland. The Framework has nine levels covering all levels of learning in secondary education, further education, vocational, and higher education. Though professional and academic higher education courses are not covered in the NQF, it is broadly aligned with the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ), allowing levels of achievement to be compared. Only when a course has been accredited and become part of the NQF is it then eligible for state funding.

Entry level qualifications recognize basic knowledge and skills and the ability to apply learning in everyday situations under direct guidance or supervision. Learning at this level involves building basic knowledge and skills and is not geared towards specific occupations.

Entry Level Certificate Foundation Diploma BTEC Level 1 Certificate

In general usage, qualifications are often compared to the best-known qualification at that level. For example, the Level 2 DiDA is often said to be equal to four GCSEs at grades A*–C. While the NQF says what each qualification is officially worth, UCAS, the university entrance system, has its own tariff, which sometimes differs from the NQF. Furthermore, colleges and employers often have their own differing ideas as to what a qualification is worth. Currently, qualification titles such as 'certificate' and 'diploma' are not indicators of the level of a qualification.
