A Subsidiary Diploma is 60 credits equivalent to 1 A level (so normally 6 units) and the 90 credit which is equivalent to 1 and a half A levels is normally 9. Depends on the subject though as some units are larger or smaller than 10 credits. However Sub Dip and 90 Credit are the old QCF courses which are no longer funded and as such colleges cannot enrol any new learners from this September, so you will probably be enrolled on the new RQF courses which have exams.
