Hey, just giving this thread a bump :bump:

Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific university or course forum should help you get more responses. :yy:

If you haven’t already found it, then university connect is a really useful way for finding people at your course/university! You can also find a list of applicant threads and courses here. :h:

Extended, it is a level 3. I believe level 2 is a first.

Have a look at this table - it seems that there are four separate qualifications, certificate, subsidiary diploma, diploma and extended diploma:

It might be a good idea to ring UCAS and get them to talk you through entering the qualification on your application form.

This might seem a weird thing to ask, but have you searched for the qualification?
On the initial list that UCAS give when you click on "add qualification" lists two BTEC qualifications, but there's a search bar above that to search for a qualification type.

I only say this because it caught me and a friend out when trying to enter our BTECs.
