The National Vocational Qualifications (NVQ) Framework is a seven-level qualification framework. A Qualification is generally a package of competency units to suit requirements in a particular position in the labor market.

The criteria for giving levels to qualifications are based on three parameters.

a) Complexity of the process that a qualification holder will carry out
