Hi,

I'm about to apply to WES for an assessment. I'm a lawyer by profession. In order to become a lawyer, I have completed a 3 year curriculum based program in Law College. After completing that, another 1 year had to be completed as an apprentice.

In my country, the program I followed is NOT a degree, but in most cases it is considered as "Equivalent to a Degree". For example, I can do a masters degree after becoming a lawyer since the course I followed is sufficient to fulfill the entry requirements.

Will my 3 year course be evaluated as a Bachelors degree by WES? I'm asking this because in the CRS, the Bachelors Degree is defined as "three or more year program at a university, college, trade or technical school or other institute"

Any help is much appreciated :)
