  2. Revised SCQF Credit Rating Process Background to Changes • Until recently SQA Accreditation’s role in confirming SCQF credit rating has largely been limited to SVQs • The Scottish Government stated that ‘Any new qualifications that are accredited will also be placed on the SCQF’ • The new proposed process for credit rating was approved by the Accreditation Committee in September 2011 • This new process allows SQA Accreditation to approve the credit rating of all accredited qualifications (if they meet the criteria for credit rating) • This process is now ‘live’

  3. Revised SCQF Credit Rating Process Policy The policy allows us to approve* credit rating when all of the following apply: • The qualification is accredited or approved by SQA Accreditation or is submitted for accreditation at the same time as the credit rating submission • The qualification has been credit rated using the SQA Accreditation approved methodology • The submission includes full evidence to support the credit rating values and levels * It should be noted that SCQF credit rating approved by ACG will not apply before the commencement of the accreditation period of that qualification
