National Qualification Framework Level Descriptors The level descriptor matrix explains the level, processes, learning demand and application of standards registered on the National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The descriptor is a guide to determine the level of a standard and how the standard applies to the learning skill or knowledge competency. Credits and Levels Credits are a numerical value assigned to a unit standard that represents the estimated time (about 10 hours) needed for a typical learner to demonstrate that all specified outcomes, (assuming no previous knowledge or skills) have been met.
