Accredited qualifications in the UK are based on units, each of which has a credit value.
The unit credit value (UCV) gives learners an indication of how long the unit will take to complete. For example, 1 credit value usually represents around 10 hours of learning. The more units you study, the more credits you’ll accumulate.
Each qualification has a minimum and maximum credit value allowance. Selecting the correct number of units to achieve the threshold for your chosen qualification is important. Our course advisors can help you decide which course and associated units will help you achieve your development aims.
The value of each unit does not demonstrate complexity, the level of qualification dictates this. For example, Level 2 is comparable to a GCSE qualification, and Level 7 is of the same level as a Master’s degree.
Listed below are the units available within the Level 2 qualification. For further details please download the IoSCM course brochure or speak with our team today
