What does level 1 and 2 mean?

I want to do fashion design in a design college but do i start at level one or 2 if i took art and product design for GCSE ( currently in Year 11)..thanks for the help i appreciate it!

Since GCSEs are level 2, you should be doing a level 3 course.
Though it can depend on what grades you get, what are your predicted GCSE grades?

Level 1 is a qualification of around GCSE (D-F) or whatever the numbers are you newbies use nowadays.
Level 2 is GCSE level (A*-C)
Level 3 is A-Level equivalent understanding. Level 3 BTECs are also used to get into university.
Level 4-6, each year of university is another level higher e.g. 1st year = Level 4, 2nd Year = Level 5
Level 7 is a Masters degree level qualification
Level 8 is Doctorate/PhD level.

Bit of an overload of information but thought you'd like to see the progression of qualifications. Gives you a bigger picture

I really need all this informations, thank you for the help!

My product design predicted grade is an A and my art is Level 7 (A) but i couldn't take fashion or textiles because in my school they didn't have it so don't i need to start at Level 1 for college....

Since art and product design are creative subjects, you should be able to do it college.
Also, your predicted grades are really good so aim to get on a level 3 course if you can

Oooh but if i aim towards Level 3 wouldn't i miss out the Level 2 bits and since i don't know anything about fashion or textiles is that a better option? Sorry i keep asking questions.

They go over the basic stuff in level 3 anyway.
You're predicted grades are good so i think you'll be able to manage level 3 fine
