what are my English Qulifications equivalent to in the U.S?

Question

I have GCSE'S and Access to higher ed at 'A' level. A sport therapy diploma and a B.A hoours in Christian Ministry. I need to be able to tell prospective employers what level of education I have. Please help if you have experience of this or are in a knowledgable position..

Please answer.

Answer 1

Even with the Honours, the BA will roughly equate to a Bachelors Degree (sometimes referred to as a four-year degree).

If you want to have your English qualifications evaluated, you can do so, but it costs money. Take a look at the website below. The college that I go to in the USA recommends using them to evaluate non-US degrees. The sport therapy diploma would also need to be evaluated and, depending on the degree program, may count towards a US degree, if that is your desire.

My gut reaction is that the diploma is not worth any more than an associates degree (two-year degree) but I would be very careful indeed about equating it to that without getting it evaluated.

Hope this helps.
