QCF and regulations

The qualifications regulators, Ofqual, DCELLS and CCEA, have published the regulatory arrangements for the QCF August 2008. These set out the regulations that will apply to organisations that operate within, and the qualifications that are accredited into, the QCF. They provide the basis for adding to the 600+ qualifications already in the framework. This includes units and qualifications developed by employers who are recognised as awarding organisations
