degree clarification

Let me see if I figured this classification out right:
US education level vs UK education level
High school/GED vs O level
Associates 2 yr degree vs B level
Bachelors 4 4year vs A level

If that is correct, then does that mean that a job posting for A level education (er B, if I mixed the two above) would mean that its education equivelant in US is a Bachelors?

not quite right...

the equivalent of a US high school diploma are the GCSEs...I believe they did away with the old O levels some time ago (my parents have O levels, but it's all GCSEs now.) 

There's really not a direct correlation between an associate's degree and A levels....both are kind of "untranslatable" so to speak.  I've heard that A-levels are equivalent to a year of university in the US, though.

The UK equivalent to a US bachelor's degree....is a bachelor's degree

(edited to add: I've never heard of "B" levels, btw...as far as I know it's AS levels the first year and then A levels the second- right?)

Neat. Thanks for helping clarify!

Perhaps A-levels could be akin to AP classes/tests, but without the college credit part.  The difficulty would probably be similar - one of those not-quite-in-college, but hard enough to be so.

Yeah...I've heard that UK universities often make conditional offers to American undergrad applicants based on their AP scores (rather than their A-level grades) so you could probably equivocate the two.

Well, Ill have my BA in December, so it souldnt be a problem. Thanks for all of your help!

Pretty much post-collegiate stuff is all equal: BA = BA, MA = MA, Phd = Phd.  They do take different amounts of time in the US vs. UK (usually less time in the UK) & I'm not entirely sure that the UK has such thing as an associate's degree.  I think they emphasis trade certification instead.
