About the USQF<\/h4>

The USQF is based on learning outcomes & core competencies.<\/h6>

The United States Qualification Framework (USQF) Advisory Council oversaw the design and
development of a proposed national qualifications framework to serve the interests of US learners,
qualification holders, educators, employers, licensing bodies, policy makers, and related stakeholders.<\/p>

How was it developed?<\/h5>
Characteristics of the USQF \u200b<\/span><\/h5>

The following elements from previous models were incorporated and used to develop the framework.\u200b<\/p>
