Why has BASI aligned its qualifications with the SCQF?

BASI is aligning its qualifications to the SCQF via the University of Edinburgh. BASI’s qualification alignment is critically important for BASI members who want to work abroad as instructors. Entry requirements for jobs often vary between countries. By aligning BASI’s qualifications for all the levels and disciplines with SCQF and the International Qualifications Framework it strengthens the recognition and value of each BASI qualification at every level. This allows other countries and prospective employers to identify the value of BASI qualifications against their own.
