Fiji

The Fiji National Qualifications Framework (FQF) is a way to ensure that education reforms at all levels can be strategically linked. The framework establishes a platform for setting the direction of education and training in Fiji for the foreseeable future. It clarifies how competencies and qualifications relate to each other at different levels, and it establishes learning pathways that will enhance learner mobility and stimulate progression and career development. The FQF was introduced in 2011 and then reviewed in 2017.

The Fiji Qualifications Council (FQC) is the is the custodian of the FQF and is mandated to develop, implement, and maintain the criteria and processes for the accreditation and registration of qualifications on the FQF.

The FQF is a ten-level framework. Descriptions for levels are based on complexity, with level one being the simplest and level ten the most complex. Each level has designated qualification types: certificates, diplomas, or degrees. Each qualification type is defined by an agreed set of criteria which includes the qualification type title, the level at which the qualification type is listed, and the number of credits required at each level.

The FQF continues to evolve as a unified framework to suit the needs of education and training in the nation.
