Will there be changes to the level of any current YMCA Awards qualification?

No. The level descriptors given in the RQF are broadly similar to the level descriptors that we are familiar with from the QCF. One difference is that the level descriptor for autonomy and accountability has been removed but this will not mean changing the level of any current YMCA Awards qualifications or components (units). The level descriptors in the RQF are a) knowledge and understanding; and b) skills.
