Understanding qualification levels National Qualifications Framework
Qualification levels are contained in three qualification ‘frameworks’: • National Qualifications Framework • Qualifications and Credit Framework • Framework for Higher Education Qualifications
The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) sets out the level at which a qualification can be recognised in England, Northern Ireland and Wales.
Qualifications and Credit Framework
The frameworks group together qualifications that place similar demands on you as a learner. However, within any one level, qualifications can cover a wide mix of subjects, and take different amounts of time to complete. The frameworks can also help you see how one type of qualification can lead on to other, higher levels of qualifications.
The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is a new framework. It contains new vocational (or workrelated) qualifications, available in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Framework for Higher Education Qualifications The Framework for Higher Education Qualifications (FHEQ) has been designed by the Higher Education sector, and describes all the main Higher Education qualifications. It applies to degrees, diplomas, certificates and other academic awards granted by a university or Higher Education college (apart from honorary degrees and higher doctorates). The FHEQ broadly corresponds with Levels 4 to 8 of the National Qualifications Framework, in terms of the demands the qualifications place on learners.

I was already working part-time as a Sport lecturer and decided I wanted to do this full-time. My line manager supported my decision to take the course and the observations and constructive criticism have really helped me learn from others and share ideas on how to become a better teacher. 46
