The Qualifications and Credit Framework is a new approach to recognising and accrediting qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The framework is at the heart of a major reform of the vocational qualifications system. The intention is to make both the system and the qualifications offered more relevant to the needs of employers and more flexible and accessible for learners.
