This is strange. I have L3 too and it came out as "Grade 12 High school completion".

Am I missing something?

Did they send you the report via email? as per their policy they don't send reports via email.

As long as I nail my english test on Saturday I should have 457. Fingers crossed.

It may be the different subjects. I've no idea though, it's just a guess, but it could be because yours is deemed vocational rather than academic.

Hisham, I got my level 5 one year professional diploma assessed. However I know someone who had a two year national diploma and got a two year post secondary grade back. It all seems a bit strange.

I got a reply from them. They said, it is forwarded to their reviewer to comment on it. I hope he rectifies it.

If it's rectified, my score will bump to 443.

Finger crossed.

That's really odd, it's normally only the $200 fee per application (regardless of how many credentials you're having assessed i.e. a degree and masters would still only be $200). Were they proposing to charge you extra for the GCSE's/A Levels? Wondering if they've changed their fee policy.

Hey Christmasoompa, no, WES charge the same flat rate for all the GCSE/A-Levels under the same application.

What I was referring to was the ~£80 that the examining bodies charge for a certificate to be sent to WES.

So assuming I have about 10 GCSE/A-Levels you're talking around £800 in fees alone...

are you sure that's per subject though and not per examining body?

'You can’t get a replacement certificate for an O level, CSE, GCSE or A level - your exam board will send you a ‘certified statement of results’ instead. You can use this in place of your exam certificate, for example for a university application'
https://www.gov.uk/replacement-exam-certificate

From what I read on the website , you cannot get a cert for each GCSE anyway only a statement of results, so the 80 gbp sounds like it is for a statement of results which would include all GSCE result by a single examining body.

I went through every avenue possible mate unfortunately, had my local MP write a letter, pearson, my course leader in the UK and still nada

Update:

I applied through WES and they evaluated BTEC Level 3 in Mechanical Engineering as Diploma (2 years). So for the people who are having level 3 BTEC and are planning to get the evaluation then consider WES as none of the other agencies are providing diploma or college level equivalency.

Cheers!

I'm currently going to get Scottish Plumbing qualification verified.

the official certification is "SVQ Level 3 Mechanical Engineering: Domestic Plumbing". (Im guessing the same as an NVQ level 3 in England)

Its from the official exam board in Scotland "SQA". Who would be your best bet you think? I was thinking UToronto.

any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Hisham,

Your qualification is BTEC level 3 from Pearson, right? I would appreciate if you could give me the rough idea of how many credits for this BTEC level 3 (I suppose 120 credits?),

Thanks for your help.
