An updated easy-to-use guide to comparing qualifications in the UK and Ireland has been published. QAA and the authorities responsible for the maintenance of credit and qualifications frameworks in the five countries of UK and Ireland have produced the guide.
Qualifications can cross boundaries - a rough guide to comparing qualifications in the UK and Ireland (PDF) compares the main qualifications in each country and clarifies the numbering of levels adopted in the various frameworks across the UK and Ireland. It enables comparisons to be drawn between qualifications and their levels rather than direct equivalences. Examples of major qualifications at each level are provided.
QAA worked with the Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework Partnership, the Welsh Assembly Government, Ofqual, the National Qualifications Authority of Ireland, and the Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment in Northern Ireland.
