Appendix C
The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework

The SCQF brings together all mainstream Scottish qualifications into a single framework which supports lifelong learning in Scotland. The level of a qualification shows how demanding the qualification is and the SCQF credit points show how much learning is needed.
One SCQF credit point represents 10 hours of learning, on average.
