WHAT IS THE SCOTTISH CREDIT AND QUALIFICATION FRAMEWORK (SCQF)? 

The framework shows how all qualifications in Scotland, such as those awarded by SQA and universities, compare with each other. It supports progression or movement between different qualifications — e.g. learners who have achieved an HND (SCQF Level 8) can often get direct entry into the third year (SCQF Level 9) of a related undergraduate degree course in some universities.

A range of other qualifications at SCQF Level 1-7 is also available to learners at Oldmachar.
