Lesotho Qualifications Framework
One framework for lifelong learning.
A shared structure for recognising learning, supporting progression and building confidence in qualifications from foundation to doctorate level.
The framework
A common language for learning.
The LQF brings qualifications across education and training into one coherent structure, making them easier to compare, understand and move between.
Each qualification is placed at a level according to the knowledge, skills, abilities and competences it represents. Credits show the volume of learning, while clear pathways support lifelong learning and mobility.
