Structure of the IQF
 

Developed following the landmark academic paper published by the International Universities Strength and Conditioning Association, The IQF uses a standardized rating system, modelled after the European Qualifications Framework (EQF) and Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which categorizes qualifications into levels from 1 to 8.

 

These levels correspond to different stages of education and professional development:

  • Level 1: Foundational learning, equivalent to early school education.

  • Level 2: Basic knowledge and skills, comparable to high school education.

  • Level 3: Intermediate knowledge, suitable for further education or entry-level work.

  • Level 4 to 6: Advanced learning and professional skills, including undergraduate degrees.

  • Level 7: Specialized knowledge for expert professional practice, equivalent to a master's degree.

  • Level 8: Highest level of academic and professional achievement, equivalent to a doctoral degree.
