lol , O level is like wen u complete secondary school here , its called O level and N level is basically completing certificate courses , if u havea degree look at somethin higher , as these O level and N level jobs dont pay that much , they are basic jobs that kids will straigh outta school or outta army will go for , but if u jus wanna keep urself occupied then no harm doing it

OK kool thanks for the reply's... so if i have my school certificate - year 10 and a diploma - wat level would that be?? lol im so sorry for my ignorance lol

Year 10 would be the equivalent to the "O" levels. Year 12 (like the US system is equal to "A" levels. "N" levels and a buck will get you a cup of coffee and that's about it. I would guess that your diploma is granted at completion of year 10. If so, then it would be recognized as "O" level equivalent.

If you are from a non-traditional source, you may have a problem with only having an "O" level educational diploma here. Unless, that is, you have generous amounts of experience in a highly desirable specialty where there are not sufficient local with the knowledge or expertise.

Good Luck in your quest however.

Without sufficient data from the asker, it's rather difficult to give accurate answers.

In the US a 12 year completion of High School is called a diploma as well.
