Applying for mental health nursing without relevant qualifications HELP!

Hello.

I am wondering if someone can shed some light on this..
My partner is currently working full-time in admin. Hes decided that he wants to go back to uni and do a nursing degree in mental health, He has good gcses and went to college after school to do a BTEC sports diploma level 3 and got the best grades possible. He has some volunteering work under his belt, but this was from 4 years ago (and so was the btec qualification)

Are these qualifications and experience maybe good enough to put him in a good position to get onto the course. The course itself only asks for

• 280 points with at least 120 points from 2 GCE/VCE full A levels or BTEC National qualifications and other qualifications in the UCAS tariff. General Studies A level can count towards the points total. We do not accept AS levels.

he has this! but i dont know if the fact he has been out of studies for 4 years makes it basically irrelevant?

Anyway any help or advice would be brill.

Thank you
