UNDERSTANDING CREDITS, LEVELS AND QUALIFICATIONS

You will get to know about the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) as it appears on your SQA Scottish Qualifications Certificate which is issued in August. 

The SCQF is a way of comparing Scottish qualifications. It covers the qualifications you will achieve at school, college and university, and many qualifications you may go on to achieve at work. It does this by giving each qualification a level and credit points. The level of a qualification shows how difficult the learning is. The credit points show how much you need to learn to achieve that qualification.

This leaflet tells you about the SCQF and how you will benefit from it.
