* ITEC Diplomas are internationally recognized vocational qualifications, representing a substantial commitment to study and often requiring several years of learning. They are typically equivalent to or beyond A-Level standard in the UK.
* NC Intermediate 2 is a Scottish vocational qualification at a lower level. It's a stepping stone toward higher qualifications within the Scottish education system.
Therefore, an ITEC Diploma holds considerably more weight and demonstrates a higher level of competency than an NC Intermediate 2.
