Level 2 Diploma in Business question?

Hi.

I'm leaving school soon (year 11)! I think it is fair to say I'm not the brightest of students, and I have currently applied for a BTEC Extended Diploma Level 3 in Business. I don't think I will reach the necessary grades to do that course however.

So I'm thinking of doing a Level 2 Business course and then going on to the Extended Diploma.

How long is the Level 2 Business Diploma course?

Is the Level 2 Business Diploma any good? Is it tough?

Is it equivalent to any GCSE's?

Thanks a lot. I'm just panicking. Can't believe I'm leaving school in a few months :wink:
