The UK National Recognition Information Centre (UK NARIC) is the National Agency responsible for providing information, advice and expert opinion on vocational, academic and professional skills and qualifications from all over the world.

A benchmarking study by UK NARIC has confirmed that the International Certificate of Christian Education General and Advanced Certificates can be considered to be comparable to the overall Cambridge International O and A Level standards. UK NARIC uses the term ‘comparable’ rather than ‘equivalent’. ‘Comparable’ acknowledges that two qualifications may be of the same academic standing, without necessarily having the same aims, curriculum or structure.
