Hi there,

I'd definately talk to an agent whse experinced in the qualifications /skills side of things. I have a diploma which OCR say is equivallent to an NVQ4 - so yu would think no prob it should be equivallent to at least an AQF3. However, after 3 months + Vetassess decided it was worth nothing - despite a lettr stating the equivallency had been verifie by OCR and another extrnal verifi. Sorry if this doesn't sound encouraging but I hate you t think you have it bagged whn perhaps Vetasses or a similiar body may think otherwise.

I really wish you all the best and hope you have better luck than I had. Despite 19 years in IT my OH ended up with no points for me becaus of this. !!!

Let us know how you get on .
