The Oman Qualifications Framework (OQF) is an instrument for describing, comparing and classifying all qualifications, delivered and awarded in Oman, from all education and training sectors. Based on one set of generic Level Descriptors, which describe the expected outcomes at each of its ten Levels, the OQF provides a reference point for qualifications in Oman, for the comparison between Omani Qualifications and Foreign and International Qualifications and for the Recognition of Prior Learning.
