How can you find out what particular kinds of courses are worth-is there some central accreditation that Diplomas are worth such and such and degree modules such and such?
Not as such, although the Open University Validation Service (OUVS) does offer a credit valuation service, for a fee, to institutions and individuals. Most universities have their own CAT systems whereby programmes/qualifications have credit points attached to them, but there is wide variation across Higher Education. To ensure standards, there is a need for consistency in awarding credit. NICATS has produced a methodology which will ensure this consistency. When NICATS is fully operational and all the education and training providers have adopted the principles and guidelines recommended by NICATS, all learning programmes will have a credit value.
