Previous qualifications

I have certificates from my home country, how can I get them translated?

The UK national agency for International Qualifications and skills (UK ENIC) is the National Information Centre that recognises and evaluates international qualifications and skills.

UK ENIC offers Statement of Comparability, which compares overseas qualifications to the UK education system, comparing them to UK qualifications and framework levels. The service does not provide grade comparisons.

The Statement of Comparability service can evaluate part-completed school qualifications. This may help people arriving in the UK from overseas who want their children to study A levels.

When you request a statement of comparability you will need clear colour photographs or scans of your final certificate(s) and/or transcript(s), and certified translations of your documents if your documents are not in English and you are not going to use UK ENIC Translation Waiver Service.

Note that there is a cost for this service. Find further information on applying.
