Career progression
Share your qualifications, work experience and intended role. We can compare relevant programmes and their admission requirements.
An Employment Pass or BCA requirement
Tell us the exact requirement you need to meet. We check the specific award and its relevance before recommending a programme.
Choosing a qualification for your career, EP or BCA requirements
You may want to progress in your career or explore whether a qualification could help a particular EP or BCA assessment. We check your current qualification, relevant work experience and the requirement you need to meet before suggesting a course.
Course recognition, admission and fees
Admission, fees, duration, teaching mode and recognition depend on the named institution and programme. A course called “postgraduate” does not automatically establish degree equivalence. Before you enrol, we check the awarding institution, qualification title, entry requirements, fees and study duration.
Can previous experience count?
Recognition or Accreditation of Prior Learning, often shortened to RPL or APL, is how an institution may assess earlier study or work experience towards a programme. Credit is awarded by the institution, after checking evidence. It is not an automatic shortcut or a guaranteed graduation date.
Qualifications and COMPASS points
COMPASS C2 may award 10 points for qualifying degree-equivalent or professional qualifications and 20 for qualifying top-tier awards. MOM assesses the specific qualification and requires acceptable verification when you claim C2 points. Extra C2 points can reduce the C1 points needed, but the age- and sector-dependent EP salary floor still applies. A qualification does not guarantee a pass.
Qualifications required for BCA personnel
A CRS technical person and a builder’s Technical Controller have different requirements. GB1 TC normally requires a construction-related degree; GB2 TC may use a construction-related diploma or degree, with five years of relevant post-qualification experience. Acquiring a qualification today does not supply those years retrospectively.
