No offence but you if you did BTEC at GCSE there's no way you would manage at a level. Such a leap in the information you need to know and if you didn't even do the normal triple science ones at GCSE you won't be prepared in the slightest. Also a C at GCSE equates to a U at a level and that's in physical education so that may not be a good sign either, considering biology is much much harder. Physical education at a level would be fine for you, but biology is a bit far fetched for you.

Okay got that slightly wrong, but what I meant is if he only got a C in a subject not as academic such as physical education, then there's no way he'd pass a subject as rigorous as Biology at A level.

2 girls in my year who got A's in biology in triple science got E's in AS, I don't think a guy who did BTEC has a prayer unfortunately.

Not trying to be judgmental, just honest. There are better options out there for his skill set.
