In England, the comparable rating to this is a Vocationally-Related Qualification (VRQ) at level 3 within the National Qualifications Framework (NQF) and Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF), or an A-Level standard.
Professional bodies, such as IOSH, will continue to recognise the current specification of the National Construction Certificate for membership. We anticipate that the new qualification will also be accepted for Associate or Technical membership of IOSH.
