Skip to content The process of converting foreign qualifications to UK equivalents is handled by ECCTIS (formerly UK NARIC). They provide a Statement of Comparability, which confirms how your qualifications match the UK framework.
If you have foreign qualifications and plan to work, study, or apply for a visa in the UK, you may need to have your qualifications assessed and compared to the UK education system. This ensures they meet UK standards and can be recognised by employers, universities, and regulatory bodies.
You may need to convert your qualifications if you are:
โ Applying for a UK visa, including the Skilled Worker visa, Student visa, or High Potential Individual visa.
โ Seeking employment where UK employers require qualification recognition.
โ Applying to universities that need proof of UK equivalency.
โ Entering regulated professions, such as teaching, early years education, nursing, or engineering.
โ Meeting the UKโs English language proficiency requirements for work or study.
The Statement of Comparabilityย assesses your foreign qualifications against UK education levels.
If you need to prove knowledge of English, you may require an English Language Proficiency Statement. ECCTIS will confirm whether your degree was taught in English and meets the CEFR standards (B1, B2, or C1 level).
If you plan to work in the Early Years sector, teaching, or other regulated professions, you may need a special qualification verification. ECCTIS offers:
| UK Qualification Level | Equivalent Foreign Qualification |

High school diploma / O-levels |
