What is the RQF?

The Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) is the latest oin a series of frameworks that started way back at the NVQ (National Vocational Qualification)

If you are looking for a Qualification to recognise your competence in a vocation (eg Construction or High Speed Traffic Management or Hairdressing) then the chances are that the qualification will be in the RQF.

Here is an Ofqual blog that doesn't quite manage to explain it

I've lost my Certificate, can you help?

Yes.   Don't Panic!

If you qualified through us in the last few years we probably have a scan of your certificate on our system and we can email that right away.



If we don't have a scan or if you want to replace the original then you need to contact the Awarding Body and give them your Name and D-o-B and pay a fee (around 40 pounds?) to have another certificate issued.

To avoid unnecessary risk to your certificate it is always worth keeping a couple of photocopies or a .PDF of it with you to hand out to Centers, IQAs and EQAs so they don't have to take your original.

Here are some links that may help...
