About

degree.help publishes what happens to a qualification after it is awarded: which authority assesses it, what that authority has actually said, and — when the answer is that it falls short — which named programme closes the gap.

What we are not

• Not an accreditation or recognition body. We do not assess qualifications and we cannot issue any statement about yours. Only the named regulator can.
• Not an immigration adviser. We describe published rules and link to the official source. We do not advise on visa applications or recommend a visa route. In Australia, immigration assistance is restricted to registered migration agents; in the UK it is regulated by the IAA.
• Not a recruitment agency. We do not place candidates and we do not take fees from providers for inclusion.
• Not affiliated with any university, regulator or government body, and not connected to any organisation with a similar name.

How we handle facts

Every factual claim on this site carries three things. If any is missing, the page is not finished:

• a link to the primary source — the regulator, the register, or the provider's own page;
• the version or publication date of that source;
• the date we last checked it.

Where sources conflict, we say so and publish the conflict rather than picking a side. Where a rule is under consultation and not yet settled, we say that too, and we do not describe proposals as though they were in force.

What we will never do

We do not predict outcomes. We will not tell you that an assessment will succeed, that a registration will be granted, or that an application will be accepted. Those decisions belong to the assessing body, and anyone claiming otherwise is guessing with your money.

Corrections

Rules in this field change every few months. If a page is out of date or wrong, that is a defect and we want to know — the correction goes in with the date it was made.
