Can anyone please advise if the "new" Nebosh Diploma is now level 6 what level is Part I of the old style Nebosh Diploma now considered to be?

From memory.....

The Diploma 1 used to be rated at NVQ Level 3.6 and the Diploma 2 used to be rated at NVQ level 4.7.

That is on the old rating scale where the revised Diploma was rated at level 4 to match the NVQ.
It is the Level 6 Dipolma now on the new rating scale.

Hope this helps

John

I agree with stupendou mans comments

Whilst the old diploma was listed as a level 4, the new one at level 6, in reality they are still one and the same level

Under the qualification framework in England & Wales, this is listed as 1 - 8, with the old diploma, the level 6 diploma (academic) and the NVQ 4 (vocational) are listed at level 6 along with the likes of Honours degrees etc, level 7 being Masters/NVQ5's etc, and Level 8 being Phd's level

In Scotland we have a similar structure (SQCF) but is listed 1 - 12, with the old diploma/level 6 & SVQ level 4 all sitting in around level 8, degrees at level 10, Masters at level 11, Phd's at level 12.

Level 6 is classified for highers and VQ level 3

Confusing at the best of times

At the end of the day, Dip 1, is better than a VQ level 3, but nowhere near a level 4.
