i found this on their website
Equivalences
The following chart illustrates the approximate equivalences between credit framework levels and other forms of measuring achievement.
Level Three
NVQ3
GNVQ Advanced
A Level
Level Two
NVQ2
GNVQ Intermediate
GCSE A* - C
Level One
NVQ1
GNVQ Foundation
GCSE D - G
Entry
so i roughly have an a level right? but i dont get the credit bit, all it says for credit is
Credit
Within the Credit Framework, a quite specific definition of 'credit' has been developed: A credit is awarded for those outcomes which a learner, on average, might reasonably be expected to achieve in a notional 10 hours of learning.
This definition of credit is also used by OCNs to ascribe credit value to a unit. Credit value therefore defines:
the number of credits a learner may achieve through the successful completion of a
unit within the Credit Framework.
