It does not.

An extended diploma is equivalent to three a-levels. A national diploma is equivalent to one.

So I want to do midwifery so if I do an extended diploma in health and social does that mean I don’t need to do any other subjects?

As long as you have passed your GCSEs, yes.

So can you check the uni website for me and just check it’s Sheffield Hallam

Can you not?

Yes I’ve checked it but I’m in year 10 I don’t really understand btec fully and you’ve helped me with if you don’t want to it’s totally fine but I’d appreciate it
