Recognition from Higher Institutions

LCCI qualifications can be used to gain admission to degree programmes at universities in various countries including the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

The following are examples of some of the mainstream educational equivalents to LCCI qualifications:

• LCCI's Level 2 Certificates are equivalent to the GCE O-Level/GCSE
• Level 3 Certificates are equivalent to the GCE A-Level
• LCCI Certificates/Diplomas are accepted by certain university faculties including accounting, economics, marketing and others as evidence of suitable background in "professional studies".
• LCCI qualifications can serve as evidence of English Language competence and proficiency.

Please note that universities have individual admissions criteria and you should contact the relevant university for exact details on their entry requirements.

LCCI is constantly working with universities and employers to increase and update recognition of LCCI's qualifications for higher education entry and employment purposes.
