Access Courses

Hey there folks.

I'm thinking of doing an Access Course in Psychology and English, but I have a question that google can't seem to answer for me.

I'm aware that Access Courses are the equivalent to A Levels, but how many A Levels exactly are they equivalent to?

Any help would be appreciated!

Okay, I just realised that I somehow managed to post this in the COMPLETE wrong area of the forums. If a moderator see's this, could they please move it?
Thank you.

I don't think an access course can really be compared to A-levels in terms of equivalence, as they are normally taken if you are returning to education after getting poor GCSE results, something not made too clear by the colleges which offer these courses. Do you know which degree courses you could get onto after doing that particular access course?
