Industry Recognised Qualifications are qualifications which have been created by the leading companies or organisations within their specified sector. These qualifications do not have the same set levels as nationally recognised qualifications as they have been created for a worldwide audience.

For example Microsoft, Cisco, Adobe and nearly all large industry leaders have created their own qualifications cover all their applications and skills for IT professionals, developers, office workers, home users, and technology trainers. Their exams can be sat in pretty much most countries around the World through registered Prometric, Pearson VUE or CertiPort test centres.

CompTIA is the world's largest developer of vendor-neutral IT certification exams. Experts and industry leaders from the public and private sectors, including training, academia and government work with CompTIA to develop broad-based, entry level exams that validate an individual's IT skill set.

Nationally Recognised Qualifications:

The National Qualifications Framework (NQF) sets out the levels against which a qualification can be recognised in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

The framework is maintained by the three regulatory authorities, the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA), the Qualifications, Curriculum and Assessment Authority for Wales (ACCAC) and the Northern Ireland Council for the Curriculum, Examinations and Assessment (CCEA).

Level 2	Qualifications and approved courses recognise the ability to gain a good knowledge and understanding of a subject area of work or study, and to perform varied tasks with some guidance or supervision. Learning at this level involves building knowledge and/or skills in relation to an area of work or a subject area and is appropriate for many job roles. Level 2 courses are at a level equivalent level to NVQ 2 and to GCSE
Level 3	Qualifications and approved courses recognise the ability to gain, and where relevant apply a range of knowledge, skills and understanding. Learning at this level involves obtaining detailed knowledge and skills. It is appropriate for people wishing to go to university, people working independently, or in some areas supervising and training others in their field of work. Level 3 courses are at a level equivalent level to NVQ 3 and to A Level.
Level 4	Qualifications and approved courses recognise specialist learning and involve detailed analysis of a high level of information and knowledge in an area of work or study. Learning at this level is appropriate for people working in technical and professional jobs, and/or managing and developing others. Level 4 courses are at a level equivalent level to NVQ 4 and to Certificates of Higher Education.

Qualifications:

GCSE	GCSE’s GCSE stands for General Certificate of Secondary Education. GCSE’s are the national curriculum examinations, usually set for the ages of 14-16 Years old, but open to all ages. Pass grades are awarded on an A*-G scale. There is an upgraded category, which is a fail. In addition, there is a starred A (A*) awarded to pupils who have performed outstandingly well at this level.
A-Level	AS, A2 and A Level’s An A Level examination is a general certificate of education at advanced level in a particular subject. Candidates can achieve grades of A-E. The Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level comprises the first three modules of an A Level course. It is, effectively, the first year of the A Level course. The standard required is that expected from students after one year of A Level study.
