A word about comparing levels between Scotland and England
England and Scotland use different terms to refer to levels of education. For example, Entry levels in England (National Qualifications Framework ( NQF)) cover the same qualification range as Access levels 1, 2 and 3 in Scotland (Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework ( SCQF)). This may cause some confusion on first reading of this report. To facilitate understanding we have included how the Scottish and English qualifications map onto each other at the bottom of each page throughout this report.
An interactive Qualifications can Cross Boundaries website has been developed by the Five Country Framework and Qualifications Group to provide more information on qualifications and their levels, and how they broadly compare across the UK and Ireland: http://www.qualifications-across-boundaries.org/compare/uk_ireland
