Strictly speaking, IVE diploma does NOT equal to HKCE 5 passes. Jobs requiring HKCE 5 passes may not accept IVE Diploma as an alternative qualification, although in most cases they do.
For students who have done HKCE 4 passes before they study in IVE, the IVE diploma is definitely a much better qualification than just HKCE 5 passes. I think you are worrying about those students who failed in HKCE, but hold IVE diploma through foundation diploma/certificate or Diploma in Vocational Studies.
Usually when you have got a IVE diploma people would not bother about your HKCE result. Having said that, some organisations are still very concerned about your language proficiency which they quite believe that IVE course cannot help you to improve. So for those who failed in HKCE English and/or Chinese Language, they should try to resit pass these two subjects or acheive other public examination awards (e.g. IELTS) which are deemed to be equivalent.
Typical examples are government jobs. They may require IVE Diploma + HKCE English and Chinese Language.

If you hold a IVE diploma but failed in HKCE badly, there may be difficulties in further study and job seeking.
