Introduction
What is the SCQF?
The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) provides a national vocabulary for describing learning programmes and qualifications so making the relationships between them clearer.
What are the benefits to employers?
One aim of the SCQF is to enable employers to understand the full range of Scottish qualifications, how the qualifications relate to one another and how different types of qualification can contribute to improving the skills of the workforce. In particular the SCQF can be used as a tool to help employers to:
- increase the effectiveness of recruitment - by enabling them to write more appropriate job descriptions and person specifications underpinned where possible by National Occupational Standards, so they can recruit the right team with the right skills for the job; and
- improve workforce development - by carrying out more focused skills audits which identify employee skills gaps, recognise what further skills their employees need and help them plan the most appropriate training programme to achieve this.
