QCF
Where you might hear it: From providers of education or advice and guidance
What does it mean: QCF stands for the Qualifications and Credit Framework. As of this month, QCF is the new national structure for recognising vocational qualifications. It replaces the National Qualification Framework (NQF). During the next two years qualifications will be transferred gradually from NQF to QCF. The QCF will measure all qualifications in units, so learners will be able to amass units over time to gain the highest possible qualification. The most basic qualification can be achieved in just 10 hours of learning, while the highest will be a top-level diploma.
