Unit PASS guide for the Certificate in Education and Training (CET): Understanding Roles, Responsibilities and Relationships in Education and Training: Volume 1

Product Information

National 4 Courses (which are not graded) are worth 24 SCQF points at SCQF level 4 and have a lower level of demand and challenge compared with National 5 courses. As more qualifications are allocated an SCQF level and credit points, the SCQF information will become important to the institutions to help make entry and credit transfer decisions. In Scotland, universities use the SCQF to describe their qualifications and all degrees offered by universities have been placed on the Framework. If we find that a course assessment has been easier or more difficult than intended, we will adjust the grade boundaries to make sure that the level of difficulty required to achieve an A, B, C or D in the assessment remains unchanged from one year to the next. This reflects the grade descriptors for the course and the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) level at which the course is set.

If you have completed two units with similar content we may not be able to use points from both units when calculating your overall grade. National 4 courses are made up of units, including an added value unit which assesses learners'performance across the course. If the holder of an award decided to apply for a different type of qualification, he or she might be able to use some or all of the credits achieved towards the new qualification, but this would depend on the subject match.

As well as including the time spent learning in school, college, university or training, it also includes self-directed learning — study at home or the library. If you think your unit results are missing, please discuss this with your school, college or training provider.
