Claiming Qualifications for points - Different degree to current occupation

Hi not sure if anybody can advise have been looking on google but want to see if what I have read from other forum users on different forums is correct or not.

 

In short:

 

Husband's Qualifications:

UK Honours degree Bachelors of science 2:2

Diploma of higher education

Undergraduate certificate in business

Level 2 diploma in culinary skills

 

Occupation: Cook (Looking at State sponsorship)

Experience: Currently 2 years 3 years next year.

 

Age: 30

 

IELTS: Aiming for 20 points

 

My question is can my husband use his Honours degree to claim the 15 points for qualification even though his current job is not related to his degree?

 

Second question if not does anybody know if a Level 2 Diploma in culinary skills is equivalent to the 10 points for qualification for immigration.

 

Sorry if this has been asked 100 times already. Any insights welcomed.

 

Thank you!

I would recommend contacting a couple of mara registered agents for a free assessment. Its the only way to be really sure before you start spending money. Either that or have a look at the assessing authority on the SOL for the occupation and see what you have to provide for the assessment. For me, although under ANMAC, my degree had to be in my profession and nothing below a degree counted, but that doesnt mean all the categories would require it.
