On-line Database
If you are an employer, education provider, professional body or similar you may need to understand how vocational qualifications from outside the UK compare to the UK's frameworks. We have developed a number of databases that provide information and opinion on academic, vocational and professional qualifications from outside the UK.
Vocational Comparisons provide information on 47 countries and over 500 vocational qualifications and compares them to the UK's vocational qualification framework.
The following types of organisation use Vocational Comparisons to help improve their understanding of vocational education and training systems around the world:
- Vocational education institutions
- Occupational bodies and training providers
- Careers and guidance advisors
- Recruiters and employers
- Immigration and visa permit consultants
- Professional Bodies, Competent Authorities and research bodies within the UK and overseas
More information about Vocational Comparisons is available from our Membership Services Team.
