Interactive Framework

The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) is the qualifications framework for Scotland. It features qualifications offered by schools, colleges, universities, workplaces, training organisations, and in the community.

The Framework has 12 levels, and these levels can help you understand and compare your qualifications.
