Clinical qualifications
The table has primary medical qualifications as level 7 but "Professional doctorates" as Level 8 in England and Wales. is that correct? S C Cheese (talk) 15:01, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Yes, in the UK (and most of the rest of the world), a 'professional doctorate' is a PhD-level research qualification with a professional or practical concentration. Robminchin (talk) 15:29, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. My surprise was that medical qualification (MB, BM and similar) isn't Level 8 in England. S C Cheese (talk) 17:14, 21 October 2022 (UTC)

Non-degree awarding bodies
The table in the section on Higher education qualifications shows HND and HNC as "awarded by a degree-awarding body". Isn't that more true of CertHE and DipHE? I don't think it is true of HNDs and HNCs. In other words, has that comment slipped by a row? Should it actually say "awarded by a non-degree-awarding body"? Is it even necessary to say it?
Here are the relevant rows in the table, for ease of reference.
