SCQF Level 9+

The aim of the SCQF Level 9+ project is to establish a framework for the development of vocationally focused Professional Development Awards (PDAs) at SCQF level 9 and above. These will be linked to National Occupational Standards and will fill vocational curricula gaps. The Project will ensure strong employer involvement in the development process to create higher level vocational Group Awards to equip candidates with both technical and transferable skills that help create ‘employment readiness’.

Further information on the development and validation of PDAs at SCQF level 9 and above can be found in Section 8 of A Guide to Professional Development Awards: from inception to implementation (264 KB).
