Careers – Parents/Carers
|
Qualifications Explained In the UK, most qualifications fit into one of nine levels, the higher the level, the harder the qualification. The levels are based on the standards of knowledge, skill and competence needed for each qualification. Qualifications at the same level can be very different in terms of content and the length of time they take to complete. Knowing about the different levels means that you can compare qualifications and identify what you need for your chosen career. The table below shows some examples of qualifications at each level, this list is not exhaustive. |
