Definitions for "NATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK"
The NQF provides a set of descriptors relating to programme levels. All our programmes will need to be mapped to this system. See QAA website.
A national framework of unit standards and national qualifications (certificates and diplomas) across the broad spectrum of subjects which providers seek accreditation to offer and developed by NZQA.
The list of qualifications that have been accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Qualifications are organised into three categories – general, vocation-related/vocational and occupational – and assigned to one of six levels (according to degree of knowledge, skills and understanding, autonomy, analysis and creative thinking within the qualifications).
