What is the QCF? The Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF) is a unitised qualification framework underpinned by a system of credit accumulation and transfer. Every unit on the framework will have a credit value, which is based on the notional learning hours for that specific unit (for further information, see the section: What is credit?). The QCF is designed to allow learners to achieve credit for individual units or qualifications, providing learners with the opportunity to accumulate credit at their own pace and use it to claim for a qualification when they are ready. Qualifications within the QCF There are three sizes of qualifications in the QCF: Awards (1-12 credits) Certificates (13-36 credits) Diplomas (37 credits) Each qualification title will contain the level of qualification (e.g. Entry 2), the size (award/certificate/diploma) and details indicating the content of qualification. For example: EDI Level 1 NVQ Award in Business and Administration EDI Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Business and Administration What is credit? Every unit and qualification on the QCF has been given a credit value, which denotes the number of credits that will be awarded to each candidate who successfully completes the unit or qualification. 1 credit represents 10 notional learning hours Notional learning hours represent the amount of time a learner is expected to take, on average, to complete the learning outcomes of the unit to the standard required within the assessment criteria. It is important to note that notional learning hours is not the same as guided learning hours (GLH). GLH represents the hours during which a tutor or trainer is present and contributing to the learning process. Notional learning hours represents the hours which are needed to successfully cover all the learning required to achieve the unit, either guided or independently. Rules of combination Every qualification on the QCF is structured through rules of combination. Rules of combination are important because they define the number of credits which need to be achieved and where these credits must come from in order for a learner to achieve the qualification. Rules of combination also state what the potential is for learners to transfer credits between qualifications and awarding bodies. 2
Unique Learner Number and Personal Learner Record You will be provided with a Unique Learner Number (ULN), a ten digit number that will enable all units and qualifications that you achieve to be logged online within your Personal Learner Record (PLR). Once you have been allocated your ULN, this number will be used to log all your future learning achievements. You will have access to your PLR and you will also able to give training providers and/or employers access to your PLR to enable them to view your records as evidence of which units and qualifications you have achieved. 3
Assessment Assessment for these qualifications takes the form of: ongoing review of candidate performance by the assessor and internal verifier. This section of the Candidate Pack covers: the evidence matrix; claims to competence; the appeals procedure for learners. How are the qualifications assessed? Assessment is the process used to judge a candidate s competence against set standards. These qualifications are assessed in the same manner as the N/SVQs. The assessor is usually the person who is responsible for providing training to the candidate and who has the greatest number of opportunities to observe the candidate s performance. The assessor may be a work place supervisor. Assessors must be trained and qualified or working towards a qualification relevant to the assessor role. Assessors base their judgement on a candidate s performance and decide how it compares to the national standard. The assessor will also ask the candidate questions based on the knowledge required to do the work to ascertain the candidates understanding of the job role. When the required units have been completed and the assessor is satisfied that the candidate has met the national standard, a recommendation for a certificate will be made. An Internal Verifier is responsible for the quality assurance of the qualifications within the training organisation, for example the assessor's line manager. The Internal Verifier provides advice and support to the assessors and ensures that the assessors apply the standards consistently and fairly. The Internal Verifier will see the candidate's portfolio of evidence during the assessment process. A Quality Advisor, who is appointed by EDI, will verify the assessment and internal verification decisions involved in the development of the candidate's portfolio. The Quality Advisor will quality assure the qualification process which ensures that certification of the qualification is reliable, consistent and to the national standard, by checking the consistency of assessments made by the training provider, and across training providers. They also make visits to ensure training providers continue to meet the approval criteria. 4
Claims to Competence In order to claim the units and/or the qualification, the learner will need to complete a Claim to Competence. This is split into two sections: the evidence matrix and learner statement and summative assessor statement. The evidence matrix The evidence matrix is designed to help with evidence collection. It is a mapping activity to ensure that learners have covered the Learning outcomes and Assessment criteria contained in each unit and is intended to help keep the volume of evidence to a minimum. It is expected that a selection of various types of evidence will be used as appropriate; columns in the matrix enable learners or assessors to enter the evidence type, e.g. Report, Log, Written Statement, and also the assessment method, e.g. Obs (= Observation), as shown in the Assessment method key. By learners inserting portfolio reference numbers in the boxes provided, learners will enable the Assessor, Internal Verifier and Quality Advisor to quickly locate the evidence which learners are submitting to demonstrate their competence. Examples of types of evidence learners could provide to prove competence: Record of observation of performance in the workplace Professional discussion Product evidence (e.g. implementation plans, correspondence, work records) Testimony from senior colleagues/clients Personal report of actions and circumstances Accreditation of Prior Learning/Achievement (APL/A) Records of questioning Case histories Others An example of the evidence matrix follows. 5

Learner signature: Date: Assessment method key: Assessor signature Internal Verifier sig: (if sampled) Date: Date: 6 Obs = P = Q = Sim = Observation Product evidence Questioning Simulation/assignment Wt = A = Ot = Witness testimony APA/APL Other
Learner statement and assessor summative statement The second section of the Claim to Competence gives learners an opportunity to summarise details of the work they have carried out, paying particular attention to how they have covered the Performance Indicators and Knowledge where required. Each time a learner completes a unit and has signed off the evidence matrix, the assessor will be required to complete the details on the claim to competence form, i.e. the unit number and the date of the summative assessment. Both learner and assessor are required to enter their initials. If the internal verifier has sampled that unit, he or she will also be required to enter the date and his or her initials. Once the learner has completed some or all of the units and decides that it is time to claim these, the learner will need to write a statement showing how he or she achieved the unit/s. This should show: how the learner completed the units/award and what she or he has learnt from the experience how long the learner has been in his or her current role and working towards this qualification the assessment methods used to show competence how this has affected the way the learner approaches his or her job. The assessor is also required to write a statement. This should provide support for the learner s statement and any supplementary information about how the learner achieved the unit/s drawing on the learner s particular circumstances. An example of a completed claim to competence form with learner and assessor summative statements follows. This is for guidance only to give an indication of the kind of things that should be mentioned. A claim should only be submitted when there is sufficient evidence to fulfil all of the above. It is understood, however, that learners may not always have evidence to cover the full range of situations that are indicated. Nonetheless, the Claim to Competence cannot be agreed and signed by the assessor until the assessor is sure that the learner could operate across a range of different situations. As such, where visible evidence is not present, the assessor will need to interview the learner to cover these aspects. Overall it is recommended that the portfolio is as complete as possible in order to fully demonstrate and support the Claim to Competence and in order to clarify this claim to the assessor as effectively as possible. A completed Claims to Competence form (completed by both learner and assessor) and blank Claims to Competence form follows. 7

I have gathered evidence from my job role within The Office, my workplace and have used specific work situations that clearly show how I am able to interact and work within my team and also how I take responsibility for ensuring that I work within the requirements of my organisation. I am always keen to keep up-to-date with new changes within work and also I like to learn new tasks and take on new challenges. Within my evidence, I have shown that I am sensitive and able to work with a diverse workforce and also that I take note of colleagues needs and beliefs. I am fully aware of my employment rights and responsibilities and have even guided colleagues to websites I used for research for their own learning. I am a H&S rep in the office and so completing this unit was not a problem for me. I used copies of risk assessments that I had carried out and also my assessor carried out a discussion with me around this unit. Across all of the units, my assessor has observed me and has questioned me to back up the observations. I realise now just how much I do at work and how completing these 3 units have made me strive to achieve even higher standards within my work. I confirm the evidence I have submitted to claim competence is authentic. Learner signature: Date: ASSESSOR SUMMATIVE STATEMENT FOR THE UNITS/AWARD TO BE CLAIMED A.N. Candidate has used a wide selection of work situations to show exactly how he works within his business environment, carried out his responsibilities at work and also how he ensures his own actions reduces risks to health and safety. A.N. has carried out research prior to being assessed in terms of employment rights and responsibilities, this was an area where he highlighted more knowledge was needed. This has helped him in his work as he is now more aware of what he is legally able to do and he is now acting as a mentor to other colleagues in this area. A.N. is the office H&S rep, so collecting evidence for this unit was not a problem and the evidence clearly demonstrates A.N s competence at ensuring all of his colleagues and his safety. Throughout the period of assessment within the units completed, A.N. has shown his knowledge and competence and this is shown within assessor observation, discussions and witness testimony that accompanies his work product evidence and personal statements. I am satisfied that evidence used clearly demonstrates the requirements for these 3 units fully, well done A.N. I confirm the evidence I have assessed is authentic.

Appeals Procedure for Learners If learners are dissatisfied with an assessment outcome, they have the right to appeal. The main reasons for an appeal are likely to be: learners do not understand why they are not yet regarded as competent, because of unsatisfactory feedback from the Assessor; learners believe they are competent and that the Assessor has misjudged them, or has failed to utilise some vital evidence. EDI expects most appeals from learners to be resolved within the centre. EDI will only consider a learner s appeal after the centre s internal appeals procedure has been fully exhausted. Stage 1 Appeal to the centre If learners have received a decision as to their competence with which they are dissatisfied, they have the right to appeal directly to the Assessor who carried out the assessment. This appeal must be in writing and clearly indicate: the points of disagreement; the evidence in the portfolio that the learner believes meets the requirements of the Performance Criteria and/or knowledge for claiming competence. The Assessor must give a clear judgement, in writing, to the learner within 10 working days stating justification for the decision. If learners are not satisfied with the outcome, they can next appeal to the centre s Internal Quality Assurer. This appeal must be in writing, but need not repeat the detail provided to the assessor. The original written appeal to the Assessor, and the Assessor s judgement, must be made available to the Internal Quality Assurer. Centres are entitled to have further internal phases to Stage 1 but must communicate this to all learners. The Internal Quality Assurer must give a clear judgement, in writing to the learner within 10 working days stating justification for the decision. Stage 2 Appeal to the awarding body A fee will be charged for an external review (please see current fee sheet). This fee will be refunded if the appeal is upheld. Learners who are not satisfied with the outcomes of the Internal Quality Assurer s decision and who have exhausted the Centre s internal appeals procedure may proceed by appealing to EDI. This appeal must be in writing to the Quality Assurance Manager, email qualityassurance@ediplc.com, be accompanied by copies of all documentation from Stage 1 and submitted within three weeks of the receipt of the outcome from the Internal Quality Assurer. Learners must also advise their centres that they have made a formal appeal to EDI. EDI will acknowledge receipt of the appeal within three working days. Upon receipt of the appeal, the Quality Assurance Manager will initiate an internal review. A fee will be charged (please see current fee sheet). This fee will be refunded if the appeal is upheld. 10
Internal review A review of the grounds for appeal will be undertaken by a member of the Quality Assurance team, together with a Quality Advisor. The purpose of the review will be to consider whether the centre s original judgement was sound and may include the following: A discussion with the centre and/or learner and EDI personnel A request for further information from the centre, learner or EDI personnel A centre visit by authorised EDI personnel Any other action that EDI deems appropriate to resolve the case The outcome of the appeal, including the results of any further reviews of the evidence, will be communicated to the learner and centre within 10 working days of the conclusion of any further work authorised. External review If learners remain dissatisfied following the internal review, they may apply to the Appeals Panel. The Appeals Panel will comprise of three independent members and personnel from within EDI. One of the independent members shall be appointed chair of the Panel. The Appeals Panel will review the case and determine whether the action that EDI has taken to resolve the case has been both sufficient and appropriate. The Panel will either: (a) (b) agree that the action that EDI has taken has been both sufficient and appropriate and therefore reject the appeal; or uphold the appeal and authorise further action to be carried out. The further action may include: the appointment of an independent Assessor; any other action that the Appeals Panel deems appropriate to resolve the case. The outcome of the appeal, including the results of any further action, will be communicated to the learner and centre within 10 working days of the conclusion of any further work authorised. Please note: The decision of the Appeals Panel is final. Please note: Every centre should have its own appeals policy and procedure. Appeal to regulatory body Following appeal to the awarding body, if learners are unsatisfied with the result, they: may appeal to SQA Accreditation, the regulatory body for accredited qualifications in Scotland; may escalate to Welsh Assembly Government DCELLS, the regulatory body for accredited qualifications in Wales; may escalate to Ofqual the regulatory body for qualifications, examinations and assessments in England and vocational qualifications in Northern Ireland. 11
