So you’re still at school. Maybe you’re at the point of choosing your options or perhaps you’re about to make a transition to the next stage of your education. The SCQF is here to help you make sense of qualifications and plan the next move in your learning journey.
You might be studying or about to study Nationals or Highers. Have a look at our Interactive Framework below to see where these sit on the SCQF.
There are lots of learning programmes that are recognised on the SCQF that you might undertake at school or in your spare time and it’s important that you include these in your profile or CV. Search our database below for details of these programmes.
The SCQF promotes equality of qualifications. For instance, an Outward Bound Adventure and Challenge Award sits at level 5 on the SCQF which is the same level as a National 5. They might be very different types of learning but you still have to use the same level of skills to achieve them. This is why it’s really important to include all the learning you’ve achieved on your profile or CV and remember to include the SCQF level.
Sometimes we know where we’re going next and what we want to do. For example, you might study Nationals, then Highers at school and be sure you’re going to university next. However, you might prefer to go to college and do some vocational training or learn whilst working through a Modern Apprenticeship. The SCQF can help you work out your next move. Have a look at our learner journey video case studies.
