Using the Framework to get more out of life (view diagram)

The Framework is there to help people of all ages and circumstances understand the wide range of courses and training that is available and make decisions about what's best for them at different times in their lives.

Learning new skills can help you get back into work or get a better job. And learning more about the things that interest you and that you enjoy will help you get more out of life.

The Framework helps people to:

• decide what form of education and training is best for them at different times of their lives. That could mean full-time education, part-time education, learning in the work-place or learning in the community
• find the best ways of moving through the different education and training sectors
• make the best use of the opportunities for transferring the credit points they earn

Gaining new skills and knowledge all through your life can improve your chances of:

• getting a job
• getting promotion in your job
• moving from one job to another

Learning is for life. And the Framework gives you credit for lifelong learning.
