QCF qualifications are made up of a number of units that have a credit value or credits.

These credits must be achieved in the correct combination from mandatory and optional units: this qualification has 3mandatory units and 2 groups of optional units. Candidates should achieve all 3mandatory units, plus a minimum of 7 credits from group 1 of optional units, and a minimum of 6 credits from group 2 of optional units. This makes the minimum credit value of the qualification 32 credits.

The units are made up of the things you need to know and the things you need to be able to do to carry out your job safely and correctly. These are called Learning Outcomes, and all must be met to achieve the unit.
