The new Qualifications and Credit Framework is a key part of the Government's reform of the vocational qualifications system as part of its drive to develop the skills of the nation's workforce.
The aim of the QCF is to make the vocational qualifications offered in England, Wales and Northern Ireland more relevant to the needs of employers and more flexible and accessible for learners.
The QCF will completely replace the current National Qualifications Framework (NQF) by January 2011. The plan is for the majority of vocational qualifications to be redeveloped and ready for delivery on the QCF by September 2010.
