Insight Help & SupportInsight Tariff Point Calculator
This simple calculator is designed to help you quickly calculate Insight Tariff Points for the most common courses and units. It doesn't work in all cases, for example for Bac-IP and OU YASS courses. Please note that de-duplication of tariff points occurs to ensure attainment is not double-counted when the same learner has completed, for example, the same unit across multiple courses. This may result in a course achieving fewer points than calculated below once de-duplication occurs.
How to use this calculator
STEP 1 - Enter the SCQF credit points and SCQF level for your course or unit. The SCQF database and SQA Catalogue of National Qualifications are useful resources to use for this information. If you continue to be unsure, your award provider should be able to tell you these.STEP 2(a) - Tick the Course Weight box if this is a full course and has a course assessment element (e.g. added value unit at National 4 or course assessment at National 5 and above), OR
STEP 2(b) - Tick Course Weight if the course has been assessed as having 'added value' - this applies to Foundation Apprenticeships, Skills for Work, Ungraded National Courses, National Certificates, National Progression Awards and Scottish Vocational Qualifications.
STEP 3 - Finally, select the appropriate Result (Pass or Graded) and click Calculate tariff points.
