Frequently Asked Questions
Eligibility Criteria
I have overseas qualifications, can I apply before my qualifications are verified?
Yes, you can apply before they are checked by ENIC. However, we strongly advise you to carry out the relevant checks as soon as you can as they can take a long time to be processed. If you are successful at an interview, presenting a satisfactory statement of comparability will be a condition to your offer. However, this will need to be in place before the start of your course.
I have qualifications from overseas. How can I find out if they are equivalent to UK qualifications?
You will need to send your transcripts and certificate to ENIC. Please click HERE to access their website. They will issue you with a statement of comparability.
Where can I do my equivalency test / Do KMT accept tests from anywhere?
We accept equivalency tests from a variety of providers as long as they are Level 2 Maths and English and not Level 2 Functional Skills in Literacy and Numeracy. If you are applying for our Primary course, we accept a Level 2 qualification in Core or Applied Science as well as a Level 2 qualification in a single science (Biology, Chemistry or Physics). We encourage you to shop around as prices differ from one provider to another.
Can I do an equivalency test at the same time as applying or does it have to be completed before I can apply?
Yes, you can gain your equivalency qualification after applying. If you are successful at an interview, passing your equivalency qualification will be a condition to your offer. However, this will need to be in place before the start of your course.
