Rejected petition Ensure all Armed forces qualifications have equivalent civilian qualifications

Make a bill to ensure all Armed Forces qualifications have equivalent and relevant civilian qualifications.

More details

Most Armed Forces qualifications have no equivalent civilian qualifications. This means that when serving personnel leave the armed forces they have no equivalent or relevant qualifications to show for their professional experience to help them find future employment

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about what qualifications to offer are a matter for educational institutions and awarding bodies, not the Government or Parliament. As a result it is not possible for the Government or Parliament to take the action you have requested.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
