Most qualifications have a difficulty level. The higher the level, the more difficult the qualification is.

If you need to know the level of a qualification, you can:

• see a list of qualification levels in England, Wales and Northern Ireland
• use the Register of Regulated Qualifications - if you know the name of the qualification and the exam board that runs it
• compare qualification levels from other countries

Qualifications at the same level sometimes cover different amounts of the same subject.
