SCQF Criteria for Recognised Prior Learning

Having successfully aligned all current BASI qualifications to the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF), BASI and the University of Edinburgh have now reviewed the SCQF criteria for Recognised Prior Learning (RPL). The result of this review is that those current members who hold BASI qualifications that were not part of the original alignment process, and who have maintained licensed status through the Continued Professional Development (CPD) process can now make a request to BASI to be issued certificates showing their SCQF levels and credits.

This will be of interest to members who are looking to further their academic qualifications or access other careers or courses that require entry standards, as they will be able to present their BASI qualifications (with SCQF credits) as evidence.

The SCQF has cross-border recognition with other nations’ qualification frameworks like the European Qualification Framework (EQF). This provides a progressive framework for the recognition of the BASI qualifications in an international context. This is potentially important for Members seeking to work internationally or satisfy international entry criteria for courses in other countries. Members who are interested in receiving SCQF certificates should e-mail [email protected] or call 01479 861 717 (option 1) to make their request. The Training & Membership Team will verify the qualification and licence status and issue the appropriate level certificate. This process will incur an administration fee of £10 per certificate.
