and what they mean...
You will often come across courses described as (say) "a Level 2 Certificate in..."
The Level of a course indicates the level of difficulty involved.
- Level 1 - equivalent to GCSE grades D - G
- Level 2 - equivalent to GCSE grades A* - C
- Level 3 - equivalent to A Level
- Level 4 - typically NVQs
- Level 5 - HNCs and HNDs
Levels go up to Level 8.
Our courses are typically Level 2 or Level 3, focusing on practical, work-based skills. Our training methods allow even absolute beginners to go straight to Level 2, without needing to study for Level 1 first. ECDL is Level 1 and Level 2, but again we offer a single ECDL set of modules designed to get everyone to Level 2.
Our new Management Professional range is Level 5.
