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:
ā
-
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.
