What is RQF Recognition?
Our Ofqual-regulated qualifications are part of the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), overseen by Ofqual, the official qualifications regulator for England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. These qualifications are categorised as Awards, Certificates, or Diplomas and come with a specified Total Qualification Time (TQT).
Total Qualification Time (TQT)
TQT represents the estimated number of hours a candidate will spend on guided learning, including preparation, study, and assessment activities.
Qualification Size
Qualifications are categorized as Awards, Certificates, or Diplomas. Each unit on the RQF is assigned a credit value, with one credit representing approximately ten learning hours.
Qualification Level
The levels range from Entry Level, the most basic, to Level 8, which represents the highest level of challenge, such as a Doctorate.
Understanding Qualification Size and Level
Qualifications can vary in both size and level, creating different combinations. For instance, a Level 3 Award is more challenging than a Level 2 Certificate due to its higher difficulty level. However, the Award is smaller in size and duration compared to the Certificate. In other words, while a Level 3 Award requires more advanced skills, in this example it is shorter and less comprehensive than a Level 2 Certificate, which covers a broader range of content over a longer period.
