No CommentsThe UK National Competency Framework system was first known as the UK National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) in 1987. At the mentioned time, NVQ separated vocational degrees and higher education degrees. Later on, NQF was created to recognise vocational education and the correlation of vocational education with higher education and other advanced forms of training. The UK national competency system at that time had five levels.
In 2003, the NVQ system was adjusted and expanded to 9 levels, including the foundation level (Entry) and eight levels of formal training. Simultaneously, NQV was officially changed its name to NQF (National Qualifications Framework – British national competency framework system) and was applied uniformly throughout the UK, including Wales and Northern Ireland. At the same time, the QCF (Qualifications and Credit Framework) system was also born in parallel with the NQF. The goal of QCF is to recognise the training results of smaller educational institutes compared to traditional higher education providers.
