Depends on the college but from my experience, they give you a place if you've got reasonable grades in a level 2 diploma so I don't really see you having a problem. So just try and see, I know quite a few places will basically take anyone in with just a pass at level 2 even if they have crap GCSE's.

I had D*D* in a level 2 diploma and crap GCSE's. But some of my friends got in with just passes in theirs and also crap GCSE's.

Look at entry requirements online, they may say something like "Successful*completion of a lower level qualification" which means they will likely give you a place as long as you have a level 2 qualification even if it's just a pass.

As for where I went, doesn't really matter. Went to a local college in Somerset
