This project was managed by the Financial Services Skills Council (FSSC) - www.fssc.org.uk
All qualifications / designations have been assigned a level based on an analysis which was completed by UK NARIC, a national DfES agency which provides guidance on levels of international qualifications (academic, vocational and professional). For the purposes of this assessment the term qualification has been used to cover awards whether they are qualifications or examinations. UK NARIC used a well established benchmarking process (the establishment of standards and levels) that it applies to all qualifications. This involves the analysis of a number of factors including:
- Entry requirements
- Content
- Learning outcomes (ie what the candidate will be expected to achieve upon completion of the course)
- Occupational outcomes
- Professional status
- Qualification progression
