Hi Scott
Most in the UK won't know what BCMA is, I can't see it being offered
here particularly because we have better qualifications already. There
isn't going to be a UK version at present. BCMA is difficult to judge in
terms of level with in the UK. I am of the opinion that it falls at
about level 2 1/2 because of the way it is examined and the narrowness
of the syllabus when compared to our quals.

Thanks Chris. Two questions:
1. Where would you spot ISA's BCMA? Has anyone actually compared the
exam to say the HNC, HND or RFS Cert exams?
2. What seems missing is a BSc sans honours degree. Is that the same
as a foundational degree? Or is a foundational degree shorter than BSc
or BA/ Here in US we have two year AA or AS degrees, then four year BSc
and BA degrees, seldome a set honours scheme though the are cum
honoraribus notations.
