The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF)
What is the RQF? The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) is an Ofqual regulated system of cataloguing qualifications. Qualifications on the RQF can be found by their size or level. Qualifications at a given level can differ depending on their content and purpose. All of Innovate Awarding’s qualifications are on the RQF.
Qualification Level The level reflects the challenge or difficulty of the qualification. There are eight levels of qualification from 1 to 8, supported by three “Entry” levels.
Qualification Size The size of a qualification reflects the estimated total amount of time it would take the average learner to study and be assessed. The size of a qualification is expressed in terms of Total Qualification Time (TQT). The time spent being taught or supervised, rather than studying alone, is the Guided Learning Hours (GLH). Qualifications can sit at different levels, but require similar amounts of study and assessment. Similarly, qualifications at the same level can take different amounts of time to complete.
We are happy to meet with individuals and organisations to discuss training and development requirements and the course content for all qualifications. Why not contact us today to start your journey with PortWell UK.
