(Definition refers to NSQF in India)
The National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is a competency-based framework that organizes all qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude. These levels, graded from one to ten, are defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they are obtained through formal, non-formal or informal learning.
The Nigerian Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) is a system for the development, classification and recognition of skills, knowledge, understanding and competencies acquired by individuals, irrespective of where and how the training or skill was acquired. The system gives a clear statement of what the Learner must know or be able to do; whether the learning took place in a classroom, on-the-job or less formally. The Framework indicates the comparability of different qualifications and how one can progress from one level to another. The NSQF is the structure within which the National Skills Qualifications (NSQs) operate.
NSQF is based on National Occupational Standards (NOS).
