I studied in England, and I sent my a levels to ece education credential evaluators- (subject by subject...) I'm wondering how many credits I can estimate for a A level? has anyone here done this?
This article might provide some further background. The UK education system is might different than the various systems in North America (USA and Canada and Mexico).
contact excelsior, they will point you to a few organisations which provide some kind of international credit transfers. oh and don't forget to let us know about it
actually excelsior said I should use ece and I sent it to be evaluated... I'm waiting for the results... and was wondering how many credits I can estimate...
With out looking at my recources, mainly because they are at my other computer, I think you can get about 6 or 12 credits for a levels. but i could be wrong.
I got 8 credits each from my GCE A Level's Economics and Pure Mathematics (16 credits in total) through the assessment of Credentials Evaluation Service of the International Education Research Foundation, Inc. some twenty years ago. I guess you may get the similar number of credits transfer now.
oh thank you! finally I can really estimate! btw do you think they'll giva less to non-academic credits such as art!
just to keep you updated... I spoke to ece, they are working on my evaluation, I asked to speak to the evaluator... and asked him for an estimate of the credits, here's what he told me: for AS in graphics= 5 semester credits A2 graphics= 10 credits BTEC National Award in digital media= 9 credits I don't really understand why the btec is so few credits, he said that because it's more vocational. I personally found it harder than the A level! I told him I recently received an award for coming out one of the top five in the country... he said that as long as you pass you get the same amount of credits. I hope this info is productive to everyone!
oh... one more thing when I asked him if any of my digital media would go under computer science he said it's hard to know cuz they don't do the recom endations anymore...
