 The Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales or CQFW is a fully inclusive framework which recognises all forms of learning across all levels and provides a common currency for learning achievement in Wales. It aims to give greater clarity on the qualification system in Wales, so that learners can make informed decisions about the qualifications they need. Managed in partnership between Welsh Government, the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales and Qualifications Wales, it is aligned with the European Qualifications Framework. This means that qualifications gained here in Wales can be compared and understood in other European countries. The framework includes three pillars of learning. Higher education, regulated vocational and general qualifications, as well as lifelong learning. This could include vendor, industry or professional qualifications, continuing personal and professional development and unitised accredited learning, which is made up of smaller, bite-sized units. From entry level to masters, doctoral and industrial qualifications at levels 7 and 8, the Credit and Qualifications Framework for Wales encompasses learning for all ages and abilities across Wales and is here to help learners plan their progression with ease.
