QCF Plastering Courses

National qualifications are changing. The Qualification Credit Framework - the QCF - is a new system designed to be more relevant to the requirements of employers and learners. QCF is intended to be better directed toward employers needs and more accessible to learners.

The QCF is a framework for formulating and accrediting training courses such as our tiling courses, decorating courses and plastering courses.

How The QCF Works

QCF is the new system by which training providers can create and validate qualifications in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Its purpose is to allow to learners to get their qualifications in the way which is convenient for them, with a wider range of opportunities than the NVQ system currently allows.

Because QCF courses are created in part by the employers themselves, you will have a much more solid assurance that the skills which the courses teach are relevant to the job itself - and that means ones which will be more sought after by your prospective employers..

What QCF courses Do

QCF courses:

• They recognise smaller steps toward learning, and give learners the chance to work toward their qualification little by little.
• They help learners achieve skills and qualifications that are checked against industry needs
• They enable work-based training courses to be officially recognised.
• They allow easier transfer of qualifications between European countries, thanks the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
