UAE Qualifications Framework
Grid of Level Descriptors:
• Level Descriptors are sets of learning outcomes statements that define
levels in a framework of qualifications. This grid sets out descriptor
statements for a framework of ten levels for the UAEQF.
• The statements are set out in three ‘domains’ – Knowledge, Skills and
Competencies (Competencies sub-divided into three aspects), building
to a grid of 50 statements. These level descriptors form the foundation
for the UAE Qualifications Framework.
Note on reading level descriptors:
• The descriptor statements defining any particular level should be read
concurrently across all three domains of learning outcomes to affirm a
level
• The level descriptors are cumulative: e.g. the descriptor for level 7
assumes the inclusion of all of the outcomes in the preceding levels 6
and 5
• If a qualification shares the same level as another qualification, they are
broadly similar in the demands they place on the learner, but they may
differ in terms of content and duration of study
