Fetac level 5 Acceptable in U.K?

Hi there, I will be finished my fetac level 5 in healthcare support in December. I was wondering if it is accepted as qualification in the u.k? I saw NVQ Level 2 or Level 3 qualification listed as a qualification on the n.h.s website but don't know about the fetac! Does anyone know anymore about this? Thanks in advance!

As far as I know they do but I can't be completely certain. Assuming you're applying for university just mention it in the qualifications section of your UCAS application. The best thing to do would be to ring up the university/ies you hope to apply to and ask them.

FETAC Level 5 is equivalent to NVQ Level 3 in the England and the North.

Thanks guys, it's for a job app so that's great news that I'd be qualified to work in U.K,

Cheers for the help.

Checkout the National Quailifcations Framework on www.nqai.ie and see the following document - Qualifications can cross boundaries
