Entry to courses and training.

Always check with schools or the college for any entry qualifications required. As a quick guide:

• Entry Level and Level 1 courses may not require any GCSEs
• Level 2 courses will require some GCSEs
• Level 3 courses usually require at least four grade C or above at GCSE

We aim to ensure that all AS courses progress to A2 courses. In exceptional circumstances, however, this may not be possible. Please consult your home institution.
