What the level means
What Level 4 means
Level 4 is the level of a higher national certificate (HNC) and a certificate of higher education. It also includes higher apprenticeships and level 4 NVQs.
A levels are one level below, at Level 3.
A Level 4 award, certificate and diploma all sit at Level 4. They can cover different amounts, but the level is the same. AS and A levels, for example, are both Level 3, but an A level covers more.
RQF stands for the Regulated Qualifications Framework. It is the scale of levels on Ofqual’s register, and it has nine, from entry level to Level 8.
