Any UK folks had their A levels or college education assesed by ECA

Hi

Has anyone from the UK had their A levels or Advanced GNVQs assesed and have an ECA for them? If so what was the canadian equivalent?

I have read that A levels could be equivalent to one year post secondary education in canada.

I am trying to get extra points for having two post secondary qualifications. I have had my bachelors degree assesed and it is a canadian equivakent of a 4 year degree so that is good.

If i have another post secondary certificate or qualification i get a heap more points.

Frustrated as i also completed half a masters degree and have a lot of credits but the university wont award me a lesser award, ie a graduate certificate and without a certificate and i cant get an ECA without one even though i have lots of credits and the transcript at the post grad level. So last ditch attempt is getting my A levels done instead.

Any info much appreciated.
Thank you

Hi, did you got the information you were looking for? I am trying to find out myself if the A levels are equivalent to a post-secondary qualification, please let me know how'd it went for you.

I never got mine assessed because I truly didn't think it'd count for much (not really a diploma, more like advanced secondary school/university prerequisite) so I'm not sure if that's a path worth going down? Unless your A levels are the highest form of education that you have, I'm not sure that WES would give you a worth-while ECA for it.
