    BTEC/A-Level Issue
    Hello all.

    In 2009, I started a BTEC National Diploma in Media Production, which I completed in 2011, obtaining a D.M.M grade. I worry now that the BTEC qualification in general is not as respected as traditional A-Levels, limiting my options and I also worry that I may have to go back for another two years and complete a set of A-Levels. Obviously, by time I would have done this, I'd be 21 years old.

    I would appreciate the opinions of other forum members and what they would advise.

    Best.
