What are
SCQF levels?
Learners are now undertaking a wide range of qualifications. Beyond traditional Highers, HNCs, HNDs and degrees, they’re achieving National Progression Awards, Skills for Work, apprenticeships and SVQs, among others.
Asking for specific qualifications in a job advert, such as Highers, disqualifies a wide range of applicants. Asking for SCQF levels instead can significantly widen your pool of applicants, who may have the variety of qualifications or skills and experience your business needs.
View our resources to help you find the right level and guide you though the process.
