    4 Distinctions GCSE Equivalent?
    Hi, I took long course ICT and on my GCSE certificate it says I have the following units from the "OCR Level 2 National First Certificate in ICT":

    ICT Skills for Business
    Design and produce multimedia products
    Creating computer graphics
    Creating Video

    With all the above being at Distinction level my question, therefore, is how many GCSE's is this equivalent to? Is it two A's? Surely you don't put each of those individual units on your ucas form? o:

    ...

    Assuming that one of the units listed is the compulsory one you have achieved AWARD and not CERTIFICATE (as you needed 5 or 6 units for this)

    This is equivalent to 2 GCSEs

    You would not enter any GCSEs onto forms ... you would enter OCR Level s National Award

    Indeed you have done compulsory unit 1, a 60 unit and 2x30 units

    So you do have the National Award
