Credit Transfers to Bachelors or Masters Degree Levels varies from university to university. However, this being a Cambridge qualification, such upgrades are generally GUARANTEED in most universities as long as you meet their formal qualifications index.

Most (especially top universities) would always require additional subjects/modules plus GMAT/GRE, TOEFL/IELTS, Computer Literacy evidence and an oral interview to ascertain interpersonal skills in addition to the diploma qualification. A lot of consideration is given to those with work place experience, other qualifications or other exceptional achievement. You will be expected to travel overseas unless it is a local university providing the recognition hence the credit transfers.

Some universities accept a 10,000 word project (bachelors) or a 20,000 word project (masters) from those who complete the diplomas at NVQ L4 and NVQL5 respectively, for credit transfers to bachelors or masters degrees.

It is a requirement that candidates meet formal admission procedures of the universities in order to achieve the credit transfers. So, candidates must register directly with the universities for the credit transfers. This process does not involve DALC. It is also important to note that the final award of the bachelors or masters degree is at the discretion of the awarding university
