If you have a degree you can try the points calculator to see whether or not the institution is listed. Otherwise go for NARIC evaluation. I do not think the certificate courses like MCP/OCP can be used to claim any points.

HND is a level 5 qualification under the National Qualifications Framework. Unfortunately, it is not considered equivalent to UK Bachelors' standard (Level 6) so I doubt that the self assessment tool will give you any points for it .... but do try it.

For more information on NQF, see

Industry certifications like MCP surely do not count, as has been suggested above.
