UCAS Points calculation

khublaikhan

I did a City and Guilds Electronic Servicing part I, II and III course insead of A levels in the late 80's. Is there any way I can work out what the UCAS points are for this course - I need to tell a potential employer.

Thanks

Unfortunately, unless the qualification is on the UCAS tariff list it doesn't have UCAS points associated with it. Is there a reason that your employer wants the UCAS points? What is probably of more use is the City & Guild Qualification comparison table which can be found HERE

There is a UCAS points calculator here:

Its not my employer - I wish to make an application but they want like 300 UCAS points in order for you to qualify to apply. Apparently getting a first in my IT software engineering degree is not enough (roll of the eyes).

It sounds like you're going for a graduate level job if they want to know UCAS points? I'm assuming since you did your City & Guilds qualifications in the 80's, you might have a lot of experience already so would that position really suit?

Contact them and explain the situation, as mentioned there isn't an equivalent so that's your best course of action.

Sorry for being cryptic - I have had a career change - left my old job - went to Uni - got my degree. I am applying for graduate jobs and I have contacted this company and told them of the situation but it seems they get a short circuit when the UCAS points are mentioned. Bit silly really.

I will put in the application regardless and if they reject me on this basis - I will contact them again.
