There are many different qualifications in the UK today, available at many different levels.

View our 'Qualifications Explained' leaflet for 2012 which explain levels and names of courses, their equivalents and should help you to plan your next level of study.

If you would like advice on your next step, contact our Careers Advisor via Freephone 0800 731 2250 or use our online contact form.

If you already have qualifictions gained outside the UK, our Careers Team can also help you to find the UK equivalent. You can also contact UK NARIC - the National Agency responsible for providing information, advice and expert opinion on skills and qualifications from over 180 countries worldwide. For a fee they can help you validate/translate your existing overseas qualification. Go to www.naric.org.uk for more information.

We use The National Agency information, managed on behalf of the UK Government, which provides the only official source of information on international qualifications to organisations recruiting from overseas and to individuals wishing to work or study in the UK.
