Hi,
To the best of my knowledge, H.O verifies your qualifications from NARIC database. If you can afford 850 quid and if you are an organisation you can buy such a database from NARIC.
After submiting our qulaifications, H.O simply search for comaparibility in that datbase. It does not contact anyone including NARIC.Thats why so many people got accepted eventhough thy did not provide letter from NARIC.
I have seen specific case, where one guy got rejected because of missing his qulaifications in databse.( i mean he applied to NARIC for comparibility, they sent a reply saying that your qualifiction is not yet included in our datbase, but we are waiting for decision from higher education in your country to add into our database, so that at this moment we cant evaluate your degree). But this guy applied to H.O without mentioning anything about his NARIC story, H.O rejected stating that there is no such degree in NARIC databse.
The whole moral of the story,is that if your degree is recognised by NARIC, then you are okay otherwise you are in trouble. And about part time qulifications--it does not matter how you earned your degree,but you must be sure its in NARIC database.
If you already done yor NARIC, i can say you can proceed without any hesitation. If not, you are simply risking your application fee and have to wait anxiously for that whole process period. If you are lucky and your degree is included in NARIC you are IN otherwise you see dissoppointment. Why not spend 40 quid with NARIC and get an insurance policy for piece of mind .
Thanks
