Is it a competitive course? Thanks
The BPTC is not at all difficult to get onto. If you were anywhere near the point at which you might not be accepted onto the BPTC, you would be best advised not to do the BPTC, because you would be extremely unlikely to get pupillage.

And I'm assuming you are trying to get a pupillage? Is this competitive? Sorry I am really new to this! Thanks so much for all your help!

It's a very competitive process, yes.
I'd be better able to advise you if I had a rough sense of the stage you're at and what your CV looks like. Feel free to PM me if you don't want to identify yourself publicly.
