Our International Grade Comparisons advanced resources and tools are designed to help professional bodies and sectoral bodies identify the brightest and best individuals from across the world by comparing grades and grade profiles from overseas awards to UK qualifications.

Staff evaluating qualifications and training within professional bodies, sector bodies and occupational bodies often use our statement services to help them understand more about qualifications from overseas and, therefore, make better informed decisions.

Staff working in professional bodies and competent authorities responsible for registering professionals in regulated professions often seek guidance from the UK Centre for Professional Qualifications to ensure their practices are in accordance with the relevant professional qualification recognition legislation.

Professional, regulatory and sector bodies face a constant challenge from the growth in education fraud and fake certificates and documents. Over the past two decades fraud has become a worldwide problem, as academic, professional and occupational qualifications and training are increasingly important in areas such as immigration, employment and professional recognition.

To help you combat education fraud, we recommend Qualification Check for a range of effective screening, checking and verification services.

With a vast range of professional and sector specific qualifications/designations available and increasing global mobility, it is more important than ever that organisations offering professional, regulatory, sector-specific or occupational training and awards are able to reassure their students, members and stakeholders that their qualifications will be recognised for the purpose of further study, employment or professional registration. Our benchmarking services will boost the understanding of such awards, which in turn can lead to enhanced stakeholder recognition and/or further development.

We offer a range of comparability services for occupational sectors, including construction, plumbing and Early Years education. We are able to develop sector specific statements which support the mobility-individual trained outside the UK. These sector specific statements can confirm the level of qualifications and training and whether overseas qualification holders meet specific sector or professional requirements.

We can also provide bespoke research and insight to support those looking to actively recruit into shortage roles. Please contact [email protected]

If you need more information, advice or opinion, our team of expert credential evaluators can help you to understand more about education, training and professional systems from outside the UK.

We can also help you understand more about the relative standing of the training/qualification, professional rights and professional mobility to support professional registration or international strategy.
