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.
Documents required
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.
