college or A-level??

need advice ASAP!!!!
i was wondering which is better for me to take to do midwifery,
btec health and social care level 3 or A-level.
most of my grades are Bs and Cs so which should i take?
I know myself how hard this decision can be! I was torn between doing A-levels in sixth form or to go to college to do extended diploma health and social care level 3.. but I went with my gut and went to college.

I am so GLAD i went to college,i feel like i have more freedom and a better insight into the world of healthcare. im going to be starting my 2nd/final year in september.

Yeah, that's a tough decision. You will need need to work really hard if you want to get good grades in a level. If you are sure you can spend a lot of time and effort into studying you can do your a levels. But students with Bs and Cs in their GCSEs usually end up with Es and Us in their a levels. Plus, the teachers in a level won't help you as much as your GCSE teachers did. So if i were you i'd go to college. I hope this is helpful. Good luck! :smile:

Thanks, I never really studied for my exams and I easily lose motivation when I do coursework I'll take your advise into account.

Goodluck! If you don't mind me asking, what would your next step be after college?
After finishing my extended dip health and social care level 3, I want to go onto university to do occupational therapy. :yes:
