Each qualification will have a structure specifying which units are mandatory (if any) and which are optional. The credit and units required to complete a qualification are set out by the Rules of Combination (RoC). As each unit belongs to a qualification under a permissible RoC, we can recognise more easily how long it will take to achieve both the units and the overall qualification based on learning time size and level.\nA RoC is specific to each qualification and not to a unit. It also upholds the underpinning Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) principle of credit accumulation and credit transfer. This means that once enough unit credit is accumulated, this can be used to gain a qualification or transferred towards a number of qualifications if the units appear under the permissible RoC, are within the same context, sector, level and have met the assessment requirements.\nQualification Level, Credit and Size\nThe level of a unit or qualification indicates its complexity, the depth of achievement required and/or the autonomy of that learner demonstrating that achievement. RQF has 9 levels: entry level plus levels 1 up to 8.\nCredits are awarded for completion of a unit and credits are then combined to make qualifications. The size of a qualification is specified in terms of the minimum total credits required. Awards are between 1-12 cred","cbCaiq6wAgCLnG8H","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiq6wAgCLnG8H","docx",158419,34,"English","# Contents\n## Understanding the Format of VRQs\n## Qualification Structure\n## Qualification Level, Credit and Size\n## Total Qualification Time (TQT)\n## Guided Learning Hours (GLH)\n## Approval for an ILM VRQ\n## Occupationally Competent Staff\n## Compiling a Learner Journey Plan\n## Compiling a Lesson/Session Plan\n## Tutorial Record Form","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the ILM VRQs Supporting Notes for centres?\",\"answer\":\"The notes guide current and prospective ILM centres in delivering ILM Vocationally Related Qualifications, and they should be read alongside the relevant ILM VRQ technical specifications.\"},{\"question\":\"How are ILM VRQ qualifications structured?\",\"answer\":\"Each qualification is built from credit-based units, with structures specifying mandatory and optional units.
