This service is for UK qualifications only.
A UK qualification is any qualification which is part of the UK education framework and is issued by a UK institution or UK body. This includes qualifications completed via distance learning.
This service is for those who need detailed information about their completed UK qualification(s).
This may include information about entry requirements, typical progression routes, following the qualification, standing of the qualification according to UK frameworks, professional rights given upon completion, status of awarding bodies and institutions etc. This is not an exhaustive list of possible information. The exact information given in the statement depends on the qualification being evaluated.
This may help your applicant if they:
- need to use their UK qualification overseas. For example, for employment or further study
- hold an older qualification which is often misunderstood
- have completed a UK qualification overseas and need confirmation of its standing in the UK education framework.
Please note: if a qualification was awarded by a UK professional body, such as ACCA, CIMA, CIOB etc, or a qualification awarded by an overseas body/institution, we will not be able to comment on this within the UK Qualification Reference Statement. In these cases, we advise that you apply for our Statement of Comparability service.
This service does not verify qualifications.
All documents given must be clear colour photographs (JPEG file recommended).
We may ask you to send more images if we cannot see all four corners of the pages in the images you submit.
The initial documentation that we need to begin the evaluation are:
- Completed Application Form
- The final certificate given upon completion of the applicant’s qualification
- The official transcript showing all subjects and grades achieved throughout the applicant’s studies. This must be produced by the awarding institution. Please note: we cannot accept transcripts from affiliated colleges
- Certified translations of the documents if they are not originally issued in English by the institution, and if you are not using our Translation Waiver service
- Evidence of a name change. We will require the legal document that evidences the reason for a name change e.g. marriage certificate, deed poll etc, as well as valid identification in your current legal name (such as a passport or driving licence). This is only required if the name used during the applicant’s studies is not the same as the current legal name.
Please note: these documents are necessary to begin the evaluation process. It is possible our Evaluation Team may ask for more supporting documents to assist with the qualification evaluation.
If further documents are required throughout the application process, the due date for completion will be updated and resets.
There are two timeframes available for Statement of Comparability applications within the Corporate Bundle service:
- 5 working days, which is the standard timeframe = 1 credit unit
- 24 hour (1 working day), which is Fast Track = 2 credit unit
The timeframes are subject to receiving all the necessary documentation being received for each submitted qualification.

A Statement of Comparability compares overseas qualifications to the UK education system, comparing them to UK qualifications and framework levels. This service does not provide a comment on grades, grade comparisons, or the subjects studied. It is designed to be used for several purposes including:
- Employment
- Study
- Professional registration
The Statement of Comparability should be presented to prospective employers, institutions and organisations alongside the original qualification documents.
This service does not verify qualifications.

We offer discounted services to organisations and charities supporting refugees and have adapted our services for individuals to make them more accessible to refugees and asylum-seekers. We can also provide guidance and training regarding refugees for our member organisations.
We offer reduced-price bundles for organisations and charities who support refugees. Purchasing a bundle package will ensure you receive priority treatment and a quicker turnaround time, along with reduced unit cost.
People in a refugee-like situation are often missing some, or all, of their qualification documents. We are able to work with cases of incomplete or missing documentation. However, where significant documents are missing, we may provide contextual information instead of a direct comparison to the UK frameworks or make a note on the statement confirming the documents on which the assessment is based.
For each award, we ideally need:
- The decorative final certificate (or alternative evidence that they completed the programme)
- The academic transcript detailing grades for all semesters of study
- Any proof of a name change, if the applicant’s current name does not match the name on their qualification documents
- A copy of the applicant’s Biometric Residency Permit (BRP) or other evidence of their status as a refugee or asylum-seeker. If resettled the UK under the Afghanistan Relocation Assistance Policy (ARAP) or Afghanistan Citizen Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), we would also need to see evidence of this.
Along with the completed Application Form.
We understand that people in a refugee-like situation are often missing some, or all, of their qualification documents. As such, we are able to apply more flexibility to their applications in terms of what documents we can accept. Where significant documents are missing, we sometimes need to add a line to our assessment to confirm the documents we’ve seen e.g. assessment based on provisional certificate only.
The timeframe to complete the application is 5 working days from when we have received all necessary documentation for each submitted qualification.
