All Resources

The resources below give information about credit systems and processes (such as APEL) and qualifications and credit frameworks in the regulated sector (QCF) and in Higher Education (FHEQ). Since the launch of the QCF, the revision of the FHEQ and through the work of the Joint Forum for Higher Levels (JFHL) the two frameworks have established significant common ground and compatibility. There are also copies of the SEEC level descriptors used in many credit based HEIs and the NICATS desciptors used in many HEIs and also in the QCF. Information about the QAA qualifications descriptors used in HE is contained in section 4 of the FHEQ document.
