Useful guidance from the U.K Department for Education

What qualification levels mean - Find the difficulty level of a qualification and compare qualifications across different countries.

Career skills and training - Find courses and training online with the National Careers Service and get advice on funding the costs of learning.

Check if a university or college is officially recognised - Recognised bodies, listed bodies, recognised universities, accredited higher learning institutions, bogus degrees.

Further education courses and funding - Find and apply for a further or adult education course and work out what financial help you can get.
