is it worth doing art foundation course?

I know there is a similar thread about this but it a little outdated. I am interested in studying architecture however many universities prefer an art a level, including Bath. They suggest for a competitive application, that someone who hasn't done A Level should complete a foundation course for that grounding. Is it worth it? Has anyone got in without doing either?

I work with students to help them prepare applications to top architecture degree courses as well as foundation diplomas including the likes of Bath, Bartlett, AA and Cambridge. I've certainly worked with students who have gone straight from A-Level to degree, although I've found there's an element of risk in as much as the extent to which they can be sure they want to study the subject without the experience of it through foundation first. Your portfolio (where required) would also need to be as in depth as a foundation level students where they will be competing for course places. I provide consultations, mentoring and tuition through a prestigious London agency if this is something you might like our assistance with?

Any help or advice would be really appreciated. After all it is a long time to study. So yes please

I am also in the same predicament- If you don't mind me asking, have you decided to create a portfolio in your own time or go for the foundation course, if so, where?
