LCCI International Qualifications are available from Preliminary Level to Level 4. The level of a qualification indicates how difficult the qualification is and how the knowledge and skills gained relate to job roles. Qualification levels help students to decide which qualifications they need for their career progression and help employers to assess the level of knowledge and skills a candidate has, and which job roles they are best suited for. Our guidance on Understanding Qualification Levels gives you a clear description of each qualification level, its purpose and target candidate.
LCCI International Qualification levels are benchmarked against the UK National Qualifications Framework (NQF). The NQF sets out the levels against which a qualification is recognised in the UK. The NQF is also used internationally as the basis for comparison with other frameworks, particularly in terms of the levels of qualifications awarded.
