Entry Requirements:

This is a stand-alone qualification, but applicants must meet specific entry requirements. Candidates must have obtained one of the following qualifications:

  • LMQ Level 3 Foundation Diploma or GCE Advanced Level with three passes.
  • Any Level 3 or higher qualification listed on the NQF or QCF of the United Kingdom or SCQF Level 5 and 6 in accounting.
  • Relevant national qualification awards at SCQF or equivalent overseas qualifications, as recognised by UK NARIC to be comparable to a UK Level 3 qualification or higher.

Progression:

Successful candidates have the opportunity to advance to higher-level qualifications, such as the LMQ Level 5 Advanced National Diploma in Accounting or the LMQ Level 5 Advanced National Diploma in Business Management. Since this qualification is equivalent to Level 4 on the QCF/RQF framework, candidates are also eligible for direct entry into the 2nd year of bachelor’s degree programs.
