Level 4 of this diploma (composed of 10 assignments and 10 modules) is equivalent to Year 1 of UK based university degree and on the other hand level, 5 (composed of 10 assignments and 10 modules) is equivalent to Year 2 of UK based university degree.  Level 4 and Level 5 collectively offer 240 credit hours (120 of L-4 & 120 of L-5). Therefore, if a student wishes to pursue a UK-based university degree offering exemption on the basis of credit hours, then after L-4 completion, he/she can get admission in the second year of the undergraduate degree program.

 The course completion will require learners to complete both modules and assignments assigned, for which they will be provided with enough support in the form of webinars, tutors’ guidance, social learning forum, and other material.
