[19] Learning outcomes can be used to describe many things, including knowledge, skills and competences (KSC), in the context of qualifications frameworks.
The framework consists of 10 "Levels", ranging from Certificates at Level 1 which signify initial learning to degrees at doctoral level. A 'fan diagram' [2] is used to illustrate the progression of the levels. [3]
