The Statement of Comparability is an official document that shows how your international qualification compares to the UK education system (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland). It provides recognition and context for employment, study, or professional registration in the UK.

This is a paid service. Once your application is under review, the fee is non-refundable, even if you’re found ineligible. Be sure to review the full service details before applying.
