What the level means
What Level 5 means
Level 5 is the level of a foundation degree and a higher national diploma (HND). It also includes the diploma of higher education (DipHE) and level 5 NVQs.
A degree with honours is one level up, at Level 6.
A Level 5 award, certificate and diploma all sit at Level 5. 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.
