The International Qualifications Framework (IQF) is designed to provide understanding and transparency of the equivalent levels of education provided by different organisations. This is a standardised system that allows for the transfer of qualifications between different countries and governing bodies. For further information regarding each IQF Level, please refer to the corresponding Table of Competencies, which details the level of understanding at each IQF stage. Please note that IQF Level is indicative of the level of understanding and not the breadth of knowledge, which is usually classified by content hours or hours of guided learning.
