Methodology and Evaluation Criteria

At Naric Org, we specialise in helping individuals obtain Statements of Comparability by providing certified translations and processing applications on their behalf.

When comparing international qualifications to UK qualifications, the following factors are typically considered:

1. National recognition status of the qualification and awarding institution
2. Level of the qualification in its home education system at the time of completion
3. Entry requirements
4. Course duration
5. Course structure, style, and content
6. Assessment methods
7. Learning outcomes
8. Progression routes and rights

No single factor outweighs the others; each is evaluated to form a comprehensive picture of how your qualification aligns with UK benchmarks. For instance, while course duration and placement on a national or regional qualifications framework are considered, they do not solely dictate the overall comparability outcome.

In cases where older qualifications have been retrospectively aligned with a certain framework level, the qualification’s status at the time of completion remains a key part of the evaluation process.

Where possible and relevant, the result of an evaluation is expressed as a comparison to a particular UK standard, level, or qualification. However, please note that this comparison serves as informed guidance rather than a legally binding verdict. UK universities, colleges, employers, and professional bodies each make their own decisions and may take into account additional factors beyond the scope of the comparison.

By working with Naric Org, you benefit from our expertise in professional translation and our support in navigating the application process for a Statement of Comparability—ensuring your qualifications are presented accurately and effectively to the appropriate institutions.
