Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF)

The QCF replaces the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) in England and Northern Ireland, and is intended to replace the regulated pillar within the Qualifications and Credit Framework for Wales (CQFW). It is also intended to align with the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF).

A unit is the smallest part of learning for which credit is awarded. Candidates can also gain credit for full qualifications.

Performing Engineering Operations at Level 2 forms a major component of Semta's
engineering apprenticeship framework and allows progression onto a variety of other Level 3 engineering related qualifications. This qualification could also allow progression onto other related sectors qualifications.

7576 – Level 3 Business improvement techniques

Rules of combination are used to define the structure of qualifications. The rules of combination specify the credits which must be achieved through a particular combination of units to gain a full qualification.

This qualification can be obtained by following either one of two pathways, Engineering Practices or Technical Support. The total credit value to achieve this qualification is 40 credits
