SCQF Credit Rating of Accredited Qualifications

We are an SCQF Partnership Approved Credit Rating Body (CRB) and can credit rate any qualifications we accredit. We encourage SQA approved awarding bodies and stakeholders to be proactive in using and promoting the SCQF.

The following must be credit rated:

• SVQs (as owners of the SVQ brand we are the only CRB for SVQs)
• qualifications which form the mandatory section of a Modern Apprenticeship

Our methodology

Here is our recommended methodology for credit rating. Standards setting organisations and awarding bodies are encouraged to consider this during the qualification development process.

Training

We can provide SCQF credit rating training to give you the expertise and knowledge to undertake credit rating and make submissions for our approval.

To arrange training for your organisation, or if you want your qualification credit-rated, please contact your SQA Accreditation Manager.
