Music Medals Accreditation
Music Medals are accredited by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority for England and the corresponding authorities in Wales and Northern Ireland.
The National Qualifications Framework is a government-sponsored means of organizing qualifications to show how they relate to each other, making clear the opportunities for progression from one qualification to another and serving to guarantee quality.
Music Medals relate to the National Qualifications Framework and the Programmes of Study contained in A Common Approach as follows:
| Medal | National Qualifications Framework | A Common Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Copper | Entry Level 3 | 1 |
| Bronze | Foundation | 1 |
| Silver | Foundation | 2 |
| Gold | Foundation | 3 |
| Platinum | Intermediate | 4 |
As a valuable benchmark, it is worth noting that GCSEs fit into the National Qualifications Framework at post-Foundation and Intermediate levels.
