extended validation certificate




The following table shows the points scored when claiming points for your qualifications:

Attribute

Points available

None or under the level of a qualification below degree level

0

Qualification below degree level

5

Bachelor's or master's degree

10

PhD

15

 

As you can see from the table, you will not score any points for qualifications deemed to fall in the following groups:

  • one or more passes at United Kingdom GCE A level;
  • a qualification from the United Kingdom that is the same as or above a GCE A level, but below degree level;
  • a qualification from outside the United Kingdom where you have the supporting evidence that is the same as or above a GCE A level, but below degree level.

Your qualification must be verified by the National Academic Recognition Information Centre for the United Kingdom (UK NARIC). Please note you can only claim points for one type of qualification.

If you cannot find your professional or vocational qualification on the points-based calculator, you may still want to claim points, so you should get written confirmation from the appropriate United Kingdom professional body that the qualification is the same as the United Kingdom qualification levels.
