Study for a qualification
Study for a qualification
Type the name of a qualification and see, honestly, what it is: the real national level it sits at, what it covers, and roughly what it takes. Every one is a real, regulated qualification read from the Ofqual register. Then start a course built around what you already know, not from scratch.
A real qualification, read from the register. Not a certificate we grant.

The data
There is no questionnaire here either, so the honest question is what the register says and what it does not
You type the name of a qualification and this tool reads it back from the Ofqual register of regulated qualifications: what it is, the real national level it sits at, what it covers and roughly what it takes. There is nothing to score, because you have not been asked anything about yourself.
For a lookup like this, the thing worth showing you is provenance. Which register the answer is read from, which numbers come from the awarding organisation and which links are our own inference, and the one thing this tool is careful never to pretend: Zavmo is not an awarding body, and finding a qualification here is not the same as being awarded it.
What sits behind the read
-
The qualification record The Ofqual register
Every qualification named here is a real, regulated one, read from the register: its title, its level, its type and the awarding organisation that owns it.
External and public. Zavmo does not create, endorse or certify qualifications, and it does not invent one to fill a gap.
-
The level GOV.UK regulated levels
The level shown against a qualification is a real place on the national framework, from Entry level through to level 8, not a label of our own making.
External and public. The level badge maps onto the GOV.UK definition of what the regulated levels mean.
-
What it covers, and what it takes The awarding organisation, through the register
The units, the total credits and the guided learning hours are the qualification’s own published figures, shown only where the register carries them and left out where it does not.
External and public. A credit or an hours figure is the awarding organisation’s, quoted as written, never rounded or estimated by us.
-
The skills and roles mapping National Occupational Standards, inferred
The skills a qualification is shown to cover, and the roles it is shown to open, come from a nearest-neighbour match between the qualification and the National Occupational Standards.
This link is inferred by Zavmo and is approximate. It is good enough to suggest what a qualification is about, and it is not an official statement from the awarding organisation or the regulator.
-
The match The catalogue search, with a confidence verdict
The name you type is resolved through the same search the browse front door uses, and we read its confidence verdict rather than trusting the first result.
Built by Zavmo. A confident verdict shows the read, an ambiguous one asks you to pick between the real candidates, and an unplaceable one is an honest empty state, not an error.
-
The occupation spine ONS SOC 2020
The official UK standard occupational classification the catalogue is organised against, which is how a qualification is tied to the roles around it at all.
External and public.
Where the qualification comes from
Every qualification on this site is read from the Ofqual register of regulated qualifications. That is the public record of qualifications regulated in England, and it is the source, not a copy we typed. When this tool shows you a level 3 diploma, that diploma exists, it is regulated, and an awarding organisation named on the same screen owns it.
Reading the register is a lookup, and a lookup is not advice. This tool can tell you what a qualification is. It cannot tell you that it is the right one for you, that you will be accepted onto it, or that a particular employer will value it. Those are real questions, and they are not ones a register read can answer, so it does not pretend to.
What the read can and cannot tell you
The parts that come straight from the register are shown as written: the title, the level, the type, the awarding organisation, and, where the register carries them, the units, the total credits and the guided learning hours. Where a figure is not in the record, the tool leaves it out rather than estimate it, so a missing number means we do not hold it, never that it is zero.
The softer part is the mapping. The skills a qualification is shown to cover and the roles it is shown to open are a nearest-neighbour match to the National Occupational Standards, inferred by Zavmo and approximate by design. Read them as an honest prompt about what the qualification is about, not as a promise from the awarding organisation. The catalogue is UK-first and it is not complete, so a name we cannot place confidently returns an honest empty state and a route to browse, rather than the nearest thing dressed up as a match.
Why we never dress a course up as the certificate
When you carry on from here, Zavmo builds a course around a real qualification and around what you can already do, so you start from evidence rather than from scratch and move on when you have shown you understand. The ten human fluencies are woven through it as you go.
What Zavmo does not do is award the qualification. Earning it is the awarding organisation’s decision, assessed to their rules, and that line does not move. This tool exists to help you find the real thing and understand it honestly, then hand you into the learning with the register read intact, not to hand you a certificate that only an awarding organisation can grant.
What this is not
- Zavmo is not an awarding body. It does not issue, endorse or certify any qualification, and finding one here is not the same as being awarded it. Earning a qualification is the awarding organisation’s decision, assessed to their own rules.
- The register read is a lookup, not advice. It tells you what a qualification is, not whether it is the right one for you, whether you will be accepted onto it, or whether a given employer will value it.
- The catalogue is UK-first and incomplete. A name we cannot place confidently returns an honest empty state rather than a guess, and a missing credit or hours figure means the register record does not carry it, not that it is zero.
- The link from a qualification to the skills it covers and the roles it opens is an inferred nearest-neighbour match. It is approximate, it is Zavmo’s own, and it is never an official statement from the awarding organisation or the regulator.
