QCF Service Layer

This website contains information about the LSC's plans for implementing the 'Service Layer' of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).  The Service Layer is the central tier of the QCF delivery model that facilitates the transfer of data across the learning and skills sector.

LSC has been remitted by Ministers to take forward the design, delivery and implementation of the Service Layer for the QCF across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, as part of the implementation of the QCF which was announced in November 2008 .
