UK NARIC
Compares Your Foreign Qualification

UK NARIC is able to compare qualifications from over 180 countries. Over 70,000 applications and inquiries are handled yearly from those wanting to understand how their foreign qualifications compare with those of the UK for job and study purposes. See how to apply.

To qualify for an employment in the UK, all foreign workers are required by law to have the right skills, qualifications and experience to function in the capacity in which they have applied.

This is even more so in specialized jobs like teaching, accounting, and other top professional jobs. UK NARIC should be the first point of call for anyone who holds a foreign qualification and wants to use such for work or study. It is a shame that some very qualified individuals come over to the UK, and are unable to get into job roles they are suited for because of been unable to demonstrate the equivalence of their overseas qualifications.

Teir 2 (formerly HSMP) visa applicants are increasingly required to show proof that their overseas qualifications would be acceptable here. You can now do so by contacting the UKNARIC.
