A-Level/Level 3
Can a 19 year old apply directly for Level 3 by having GCSES, without passing Level 2?
Hey there.
The short answer is yes.
Assuming that you're talking about the QCF levels, then the GCSE's you've completed will mean you already have a level 2 qualification.
There's no general rule preventing you from studying a subject at Levels 3 & 4 if you have not passed the prior level for that subject. When I left school I undertook a Level 4 Accountancy Apprenticeship despite not having any prior work or accountancy experience and only having 7 GCSEs.
This might be different though for individual employers or particularly specialist subjects. This depends on your chosen career/industry/profession.
Hope that helps.
