"I normally find these courses a bit slow, but Tom was very engaging and explained things clearly. I very much enjoyed using skills learned on the manequins for practicle learning." (10/10) - Ally (3 Oct 2023) (1-day Emergency First Aid at Work course.)
If a qualification is regulated (officially recognised), there will be RQF or SCQF at the end of the course title.
Most qualifications have a difficulty level. The higher the level, the more difficult the qualification is. (https://www.gov.uk/what-different-qualification-levels-mean/list-of-qualification-levels)
The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) accredits qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. RQF is jointly regulated by the England's regulator Ofqual, Wales DCELLS and Northern Ireland's CCEA.
Scotland has its own system - the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SQCF).
The EU developed the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) as a translation tool to make national qualifications easier to understand and more comparable. (europa.eu)
The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) applies to qualifications awarded by Scottish Awarding Organisations. It has more levels than the RQF. SCQF Level 7 is equivalent to RQF Level 4, SCQF Level 10 is equivalent to RQF Level 6 and SCQF Level 11 is equivalent to RQF Level 7. (sqa.org.uk)
Level 3 First Aid at Work (RQF) is equivalent to Level 6 First Aid (SCQF). RQF or SCQF qualifications are recognised all over the UK.
