Guidance regarding Tier 1 (General) of the Points-based system
-
Currently, UKNARIC is unable to verify the full range of professional qualifications. Therefore, if applicants cannot find their professional qualification on the self-assessment tool then the Border and Immigration Authority will accept an original letter from the appropriate UK professional body, by an authorised official, confirming their qualification is equivalent to a UK degree at either Bachelor, Masters or PHD level..
Applicants who are extending their leave under Tier 1 from a preceding period of HSMP leave are not required to provide a letter of equivalency from a professional body if the applicant is claiming points for a professional qualification that has been previously accepted as equivalent to UK degree level or above.
Note that professional qualifications cannot be used to claim points under the English Language Proficiency requirement.
