I Education Authority Southern Region
Qualification Equivalency List
Version 5 -August 2015
Explanatory Notes and Guidance on the list's use
This is the fifth version of the Education Authority Southern Region's policy on the equivalency of qualifications. As always it is not an attempt to list every qualification; for example, as at August 2015 there were 19829 accredited qualifications on the Register of Regulated Qualifications which is maintained by The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (OFQUAL) for qualifications in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It lists those qualifications which have been presented by applicants for employment with the Education Authority Southern Region over the past, approximately, 30 years.
The Education Authority Southern Region's qualification criteria in job vacancy adverts are normally stated in terms of "GCSE or equivalent"- Level 1, "NVQ 3, 'A' level or equivalent"- Level 2, and "Third level qualification, HND/Degree level or equivalent"- Level 3 and there are columns in this list which define these:
• Level1 (1), i.e. GCSE grades A*-C and equivalent, • Level 2 (2), i.e. 'A' level, NVQ 3 and equivalent, and, • Level 3 (3), i.e. Third Level Education qualification, HND/Degree or higher and equivalent.
There are columns providing details of qualification equivalency in respect of: • (*1) Qualifications with an inferred acceptable standard of English & Maths for general office work -however, this general equivalency does not
apply where it is essential that a post holder is required to compose documents, reports and letters, a stand-alone English qualification would then be required, nor where the post has specific numeric or financial duties, a stand-alone mathematics qualification would be required,
• Qualifications where the job involves the creation of documents- at a level equivalent to OCR (RSA) Level2 and Level 3 Word Processing, • Qualifications where jobs require generaiiCT skills- ICT Users Qualifications and, • Qualifications which give stated standard of skills for ICT Support Staff- ICT Practitioner Qualifications.
There is also a column detailing the "QCF Level" which stands for the "Qualifications and Credit Framework Level" within which all UK qualifications are placed. The guidance to these levels and examples of qualifications within them, are listed in the appendix.
The increased number of applicants of other nationalities has necessitated the further development of guidance in relation to foreign qualifications.
The document, although comprehensive, is not exhaustive, and reflects qualifications and equivalencies which have been encountered up to a set date; therefore, clearly, additional qualifications will have to be assessed as and when they are encountered in order for the Regional Authority to reach an opinion concerning their equivalency. If the qualification being considered is not covered in the document you should contact HR 37512394 or 37512214 for guidance.
