What are frameworks, and how do they work?

A framework sets out the skills, knowledge and competencies needed to carry out a job. There are more than 80 frameworks, covering a huge range of jobs. Each framework is put together by a sector skills council, working closely with employers. Frameworks will cover:

• The relevant SCQF/MA level or an alternative competency based qualification
• The core skills included
• Details of any industry-specific training

A framework is at the heart of each Modern Apprenticeship programme offered by a training provider.
