Use this guide if you studied outside the UK and an employer, college, university or professional body asks how your qualifications compare with UK ones. Have your certificates, transcripts and any official translations to hand, even if they are only scans for now.
Step by step
Find out exactly what is being asked for
Before paying for anything, ask the employer, college or body: 'Do you need a formal comparison of my qualification, such as a UK ENIC Statement of Comparability, or will you accept my original certificate and transcript?' Many employers and universities assess overseas qualifications themselves at no cost to you. If they name a specific document or regulator, write it down word for word.
