In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) has set 3 entry levels and 8 levels, which are designed to explain the relationship between qualifications in terms of their difficulty and size. The higher the level, the harder the qualification. Here are a few examples:

If you want to study a particular subject but don’t have any formal qualifications, level 1 qualifications are ideal, as there are no entry requirements. Their basic content makes them great for adults who want to improve their education, forge a new career or simply learn a new skill.
A wide variety of subjects are available at this level, from IT to horticulture. Here are some of the most popular subjects on offer:
In addition to its level, every qualification on the qualifications framework has a credit value, which measures the approximate time it takes to complete it. One credit is equal to ten hours of study.
When you’re choosing a course, it’s useful to know that Awards are worth 1-12 credits (10-120 hours), Certificates are worth 13-36 credits (130-360 hours) and Diplomas are worth over 37 credits (370 hours).
