Considering joining the RAF as an officer, do I have enough qualifications to apply?

I'm considering joining the RAF as an officer after leaving collage and was wondering do I have enough qualifications to apply as an officer?

I don't have the natural GCSEs or A-levels.

I'm currently completing an access to higher education course, my overall target grade is merit (Teachers haven't explained credits to us, but I think there's 60 credits in total)

I have a 6 in English language GCSE.
I also have a merit in level one horticulture which I know don't have UCAS points.

Have a look at

Access to Higher Education - 2017 onwards where grades total 64 UCAS points or higher is considered an acceptable equivalent to the "2 A levels at grade C" requirements.

So it depends on your results, but most outcomes for Access to HE seem to meet the threshold.
