UK’s NVQ or City & Guilds qualifications in USA
Hello, everyone,
I would like to kindly ask if anyone here in the USA have had their UK educational qualifications evaluated for any or all of the following:
⁻ City & Guilds II;
⁻ City & Guilds III;
⁻ National Vocational Qualification - Level 2 (NVQ 2 or VQ II);
⁻ National Vocational Qualification - Level 3 (NVQ 3 or VQ III).
If so, could you let me know the US equivalent of those UK qualifications? I am asking because I want to make sure that it is worth the money paid to a credentialing service against going back to studies in USA.
Thank you very much.

Hi Caritas. Sorry I don't know the answer.
Some people here will be curious as to your situation...it can often help elicit a response if you explain what you're intending in a little more detail.

You're not trying to get a visa to live in the US based on finding a US job, on these qualifications are you?

I am currently looking for a job

Re: UK’s NVQ or City & Guilds qualifications in USA
I would say paying for a translation service for these qualifications would be pointless. They would at the very best give you a few college credits, that you could then use to go to an educational facility and use against a degree. To help get a job though, worthless.

Re: UK’s NVQ or City & Guilds qualifications in USA
Would any of them amount to the US Associate Degree level or thereabout?

Re: UK’s NVQ or City & Guilds qualifications in USA
Mr. Scot as I said earlier, I live in Bay Area, SF, California
. I arrived here last year with a GC, and I have been looking for a job. I need to put down my UK qualifications like the NVQ, City & Guilds (which as you know does not mean a lot in USA, but can be evaluated to something in US) on my resume.
I have heard that some people have had their NVQs as well as GCSEs evaluated. Certain jobs here as you're aware require High school Diploma or GED.
So, it would be helpful if anyone who have had their NVQ qualification evaluated to give me an idea as to what NVQ 2 or NVQ 3 would equate to here in US.

All you previously said was that you are in CA. Many people can end up here via many different routes, which can affect your employment chances.
When asking for advice it's best to let people know as much detail as possible about your situation.
You're only just mentioned you have a Green Card and that's crucial information.
Are you on your own?
Are you here permanently as far as you know?
Living with family?
What kind of job are you looking for?
What are your skills?
Many of us here are widely experienced in different subjects and can offer varied advice that could be very valuable.
