How do you know which vocational course is the right one? (Specifically computing)

So I'm nearing the end of my first year at sixth form, and to say the least, I haven't had great attendance, and haven't really put as much effort as I could. My college have basically said they are seriously considering asking me to not come back next year, and I can't blame them. But regardless of that, I still have my exams coming up which I'm preparing for, and after that I'm considering going to a vocational college in my area. But the only problem is I have no idea which course I should be choosing.

I've been considering something related to Computing, as I'm tech savvy and did manage a pass in IT at GCSE level.
The thing is when I am looking at the courses I have no idea how I should be judging them. I'm 18 in October so I obviously am looking at the 1 year courses for computing, but I don't know which of the three that are available are the best for me.

It basically boils down to two BTEC level 3 courses, if anyone knows. They're both 1 year with an optional second year, the first is 90 credit for one, a sub diploma for the other first year.

I'm really not sure what decisions I should be making at this point but if anyone has any idea and would like to help it would be hugely appreciated!
