Level 2 Courses
BTEC/GCSE/National Certificate
These courses are one-year qualifications for those who get fewer than the required number of grade 4 GCSEs for level 3 courses. They can allow students to bridge to the next level or prepare them for a job or an apprenticeship at age 17.
Entry Requirements
Minimum five grade 3 GCSEs, including the equivalent in Maths and English.
The courses can help you progress to A-levels or move on to an apprenticeship or other courses.
If you haven't achieved the requirement for a level 2 course and would like to discuss you options please get in touch with the Sixth Form team.
You can find more detailed entry requirements below.
Any student who has not achieved a grade 4 or above in Maths or English will, as a result of recent legislation, have to take those qualifications again.
