Hey,
I've just finished my AS year, and if I don't get the grades needed I won't be able to carry on onto A2, so I just need a back-up plan if I don't get the grades (which is very likely).
So my back-up plan is to study the "BTEC Extended Diploma Business - Level 3" at College, this September. It will take 2 years to complete.
Relevant info' about the course:
!You have a number of assignments to complete and these will be assessed throughout the course. Depending on the number of credits you complete, you will be awarded one of the following qualifications:
180 credits: BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma (equivalent to three A levels)
These are all nationally recognised qualifications.".
When I complete this course, will this be enough for me to go onto a course at Uni'?
For example, I'm looking at a course for Uni' now and the entry requirements are A-Level: BBB OR BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma: DDM.
Does this mean I have to get a DDM in the "BTEC Extended Diploma Business - Level 3" (along with other entry requirements) to get onto that course?
Sorry I'm just confused about all this..
Also as it says it's equivalent to 180 credits, does that mean 180 UCAS points? 'cause I have already been confirmed a C in AS Business and AS ICT which both total up to 80 UCAS points. So if I complete the BTEC course, I'll have 260 UCAS points overall?
Please someone explain!
Basically, my main question is, when I complete the BTEC Extended Diploma Level 3 in Business, will I be able to go Uni' with that achieved?
Thank you.
