Hi - I have completed ACA with ICAEW in the UK (I have completed my university/education in India). As per FAQ on ICAEW website (see below) ACA is comparable with the UK Master's degree. Does this mean that in my application I can say I have a degree equivalent to the UK's bachelor degree and attach the qualification certificate? or will I need to get a certificate from NARIC to prove the same?
- The ACA is comparable to a UK Master’s degree or a postgraduate diploma. UK NARIC (the UK government's agency for the recognition and comparison of international qualifications and skills) recently completed an independent review of the academic level of ICAEW CFAB and the ACA. The review was to determine how the qualifications compare to the national education system using benchmarks such as the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF). UK NARIC concluded that ICAEW CFAB was comparable to RQF Level 4 (first year university) and the ACA was comparable to RQF Level 7 (UK Master's degree/ postgraduate diploma standard).
