The National Qualification framework (introduced by QCA) is a way of organising qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is like a map that shows how qualifications relate to each other.
Please Note - ECDL and NICAS do not appear in the official NQF ranking - they have been included here to attempt to show students their approximate relevance.
The following table shows how the old version of CLAIT and IBT2 & 3 relate to the new qualifications of New CLAIT, CLAIT Plus and CLAIT Advanced.
