SCQF - The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework

For qualifications or learning programmes to be included in the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), they must have their SCQF Level and credit rating formally confirmed. SQA, as well as Scottish Universities and Colleges, are SCQF Credit Rating Bodies. Further information on programmes of learning that SQA have credit-rated can be accessed below:
