This paper consists of 8 sections. The first section introduces the background of Virtual University for Small States of the Commonwealth(VUSSC) and qualifications framework in these small countries. The second section depicts the design rationale behind the transnational qualifications framework. The third section introduces the preparation for the transnational qualifications framework, including establishment of VUSSC, ICT training, and designing the VUSSC website. The fourth section describes the structure of the transnational qualifications framework and the standards of qualifications credits. The fifth section introduces the pilot project of the transnational qualifications framework, ie. designing the reference standards, recognition and transfer of different qualifications, establishing quality assurance systems and prior learning recognition.
