What is a Diploma worth in the School and College Achievement and Attainment Tables?
QCA is still to announce the exact equivalencies for the first Diploma qualifications but in terms of the amount of time it takes to teach and the challenge involved in completing a composite qualification like the Diploma, we expect a Foundation Diploma to be broadly equivalent to 5 GCSEs grade D-G, a Higher Diploma to be broadly equivalent to 7 GCSEs grade A*-C and an Advanced Diploma to be broadly the same as 3 or 3.5 A levels.
