Distinctions
Goverment Recognition
The program of the Level UK system, which is developed and directed by the British government, is compatible with national occupational standards as well as the traditional training system.
Equivalent to University Levels
All competencies and standards are converted into Levels, fully compatible with the university education system. For example, a Level 6 Diploma is equivalent to Bachelor’s Level, and a Level 7 Diploma is equivalent to Master’s Level.
Maximum Cost Savings
This program assists the British government in rapidly developing a skilled workforce. The government has many support policies and the training cost is only 1/3 compared to training at British public universities at the same level.
Maximum Time Savings
Level UK focuses on training practical experts and therefore reduces the emphasis on research-related subjects. As a result, students can graduate one-third faster compared to traditional training programs
Global Recognition
Level UK is not only compatible with the UK national higher education system but is also fully compatible with the European, Australian, African, and ASEAN competency frameworks and is recognized in the United States and Canada (WES).
Settlement and Study Abroad
Level UK optimizes the process of full-time study abroad at public universities in the UK or around the world (due to recognition in the academic environment) or settlement and labour mobility (due to recognition of professional capacity).
