Ofqual-regulated qualifications are part of the UK’s Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF) and are widely recognized. However, acceptance for immigration depends on the country’s specific visa and qualification recognition policies.

In many cases, yes – especially when supported by official recognition tools such as:

• UK ENIC (formerly NARIC) for qualification comparison

• WES (World Education Services) for use in Canada and the U.S.
  However, not all diploma types are guaranteed to be accepted for point-based immigration systems. It is strongly recommended to consult the relevant immigration authority.

Some countries may consider Level 6 or Level 7 qualifications as evidence of postsecondary education in skilled migration applications, especially when supported by employment experience. Recognition varies by country and occupation list.

They may contribute to PR points in countries like Canada, Australia, or New Zealand, particularly when assessed through an education credential assessment (ECA). A degree from a university often carries more weight than a diploma, but Ofqual diplomas can still add value.

This depends on the industry regulations in each country. Some professions (like teaching, medicine, or law) require degrees or licenses specific to that country. However, in fields like business, management, logistics, or IT, diplomas are often acceptable with relevant work experience.

Yes and no. While both diplomas and degrees are recognized under the UK’s national framework, a diploma is not the same as a degree. However, it can lead to a degree top-up or strengthen your profile for immigration and employment purposes.

That said, Level 4, 5, and 6 Diplomas are fully compatible with degree-level qualifications in terms of level and academic credits.
