I have two qualifications (bachelors degree and a diploma). I originally got my degree assessed by the IQAS. To increase my points further under the 'two certificates' category, I'm getting my diploma assessed from another organisation, so I'll end up with two ECAs, showing one qualification each.

In EE, ECA info is entered per qualification so this shouldn't be a problem but how do I get the additional points under 'two or more certificates..'? As each ECA shows only one qualification, I cannot select 'two or more..' for either ECA.

There is a separate field for 'Level of education'. The guidance states "To get the correct number of points, make sure you choose the answer that best reflects your case". So, do I need to select 'two or more ..' under the 'level of education' field for both qualification entries, even though either ECA shows only one qualification?

Also are points re-calculated automatically?

I have exactly same scenario and want to know if we can use 2 different ECAs for claiming two or more degree, diploma points? or is it necessary to get once eca for both qualifications which is not possible in my case.

WES also offers an option to upgrade your previous report in which you can add more qualifications to your previous report and get a new one issued. In that way, you will have both qualifications listed in one ECA report.

In my case, I have 2 different qualifications and apprently, each is accepted by one agency and not by another. Wes doesn't accept both as their recognised institution.

Degree's ECA is already obtained by IQAS and for diploma i have to go through ICES because IQAS considers it as secondary school and ICES as 2 years diploma which gives me the option for 2 or more degrees.

When submitting your Post ITA Application, You need to mention ECA Agency and their reference number under each qualification so i don't think there should be a problem in providing two ECA reports from different agencies.

Let others comment on this.

basically, everywhere they are referring to it as AN assessment.. most of the people are saying that it has to be one ECA for all education qualification...

you have the same case or anyone you know personally or some link you can refer me to.. would really appreciate that.

thanks

AN assessment of A diploma. The fact that they allow you to add multiple ECA information is pretty clear.

Please what ECA did you use for your diploma and what was the outcome?
