What is a level 4 qualification?

[Littletreefrog]

I have just achieved my ATT qualification which is apparently a level 4 qualification. Please explain to me in words I ×ill understand what this means? To help I know what GCSEs, A levels and Degrees are other than that I'm a bit wooly on the details.

Level 4 is the equivalent to year 1 of an undergraduate degree.
A levels are level 3, GCSEs level 2, post-grad is a level 7 qualification.

Level 4 is equivalent to the first year of an undergraduate degree programme.

Ah great thank you.

So I have just copied this from the internet, but I work in FE so know it's right, just lazy on the typing! So level 4 is normally the first year of a Bachelors Degree, although you could also do a stand alone HNC which would probably, I think, be likely to be in a more practical subject, like nursing or engineering, rather than say an English degree.

That didn't work- try this link. https://www.ukstudyonline.com/types-of-level-4-qualification/

ATT or AAT OP? Only asking as one of my DC is currently studying AAT

ATT, its the tax qualification.

Ah thanks @Littletreefrog. I didn't know that

Congratulations on getting ATT - those are tough papers! Are you going to move onto CTA?

Thank you, nope I dont think so. I have come to tax late in my working life and dont think I have the drive required for CTA having seen some much younger colleagues with no family commitments struggle with the studying demands.

You've done very well to complete it. It's a big commitment & hard work to get back into the swing of studying again.

In the May sitting someone managed to win 5 (yes, 5) prizes but I couldn't imagine the effort that went into achieving that.

Thank you. Wow 5 prizes! Yes I did find it was a lot harder to get information to stick this time round than when I was 22 years younger doing my A levels!
