Hi everyone,

One of my friends have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture from GNDU Amritsar (5 years) and she has a license to work as an architect.
Although her NOC skill type is also "A" and listed as a work for which a license is required, her degree has only been considered as a "Bachelors (4 years)" by WES.
What should she choose as her highest degree of qualification? :

1. Bachelor’s degree or other programs (three or more years) at a university, college, trade or technical school, or other institute


2. Professional degrees for licensed professions
